Rough Silk - The Truth Lyrics

[Music : Wunderlich, Doernberg / Lyrics : Doernberg]



I don't know where to go - I don't know what to say.

I don't know why to leave and what I'm gonna see today.

I don't know where you are - I don't know what you've found

But all I know for sure, my dear, is that the truth is gonna burn you down !



Gimme the nightlights !

Gimme the rain !

Gimme the shadows of a faith gone down the drain !

Gimme the reasons !

Gimme a round !

And all I know for sure, my dear, is that the truth is gonna burn you down !



I don't know why we fight - I don't know why we kill.

I don't know who's to blame and why we cheat and and always will.

I don't know who I am and why I was your clown

But all I know for sure, my dear, is that the truth is gonna burn you down.



Gimme the nightlights........



Didn't they tell you `bout the truth ?

It's harder than the lie.

And after all these one night stands

you just kiss your tears goodbye.

Silent memories hurt my brain

- but your brain is not the thing

- it's the "below-the-kidneys-territory"

where the bells of fire ring.

So maybe in another world

or in another life

- some other place - some other time

some other one wheel drive.

What you give is what you get

- but what if you only take ?

The wrong way out but the right way in

and another heart to break.

The truth you cannot fake !



Gimme the nightlight...........
