about

This is a song that started as a pitch for a TV project. My good pal Kevin wrote the the majority of the lyrics and sang for this version of the song. I wrote and recorded a entirely different tune to go over the track. The only bit of direction I gave was the word "true" and how I wanted it to be the last word of the Chorus. I rather like what he did, I hope you do too.

lyrics

Nowadays it seems the truth just gets defeated
Your homemade pie comes in a box and gets reheated
The banks are charging us just to think about our money
what they call comedy's just cruel and nothing funny.
Every ad on tv struggles to be sentimental
sugar glazed donuts for breakfast is far from continental
Our tabs expire and the judge won't show us lenience
They charge us double and they call it a convenience

'cause they feed us their lies, when they try to disguise, every truth that we though we knew
But my confidence growing 'cause I'm always knowing I'm coming back home to you
I'll pull through 'cause you're my true

Our media's social but we do it when we're all alone
We interact with each by staring down into our phone
They send out a billion letters and tell us that we're specially chosen
We ask if the veggies are fresh and tell us they're freshly frozen

When all day we eat lies, when they try to disguise every truth that we thought we knew
My confidence growing 'cause I'm always knowing I'm coming back home to you
pull me through, 'cause you're my true

You are the purest form of everything
You're not the wedding bells
You are the ring
But now and again

So much distortion of words that our language is being perverted
They tell us in dollars we trust and demand that we all get converted
Everyone's gone overboard and we're flying off all of our handles
they're rubbing their gloves on our pants and scanning for bombs in our sandals

When all day we eat lies, when they try to disguise every truth that we thought we knew
My confidence growing 'cause I'm always knowing I'm coming back home to you
you pull me through, 'cause you're my true
'cause you're my true
you always do
'cause you're my true
yeah you're my true
