I Hear the Truth

from Raleigh's Own by The Plastic Arts

/

lyrics

I think it's hard to admit that I'm drunk
Stumbling home after work in a funk
And belting the song that I hear through the buds in my eears like a punk
I know it's worse to admit what I think
Who I believe I become in a blink
I see my name in neon like the Kings of Leon when I drink
But I hear the truth play where the needle is stuck
Another entitled and arrogant fuck
Who's eager to coast all the way to his grave
And living on luck

It's half of the reason I'm staying at home
Keeping my peers in the loop from the phone
They know what they're talking about
Let them figure it out on their own
But whether they're worse to themselves or to me
With whatever reason they've come to believe
It's playing a part in the role that they place in the hole that I leave
I hear the truth but only leave in disgust
I'm drying my tears on the checks from the trust
Still giving up most of the plans that I make
And live like I'm bust

I'm here till the wine wears off
Keep me numb come on keep standing me one
I'm here keep me here not there
Keep me numb come on keep me standing me one
I'm getting as close to morose as you let
I'm there inconsolable know that you left
Forgetting which role to put on
Play it safe to belong
But I still get it wrong

Cause I hear the truth but treat concern like a hunt
The best of intention to me is an affront
You're puttin in work and I push away
I believe what I want
You're puttin in work and I push away
I believe what I want
