The Truth

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Roisin Murphy] Go to the mountain, if you must Go to the burning bush If it would ease your troubled mind I'll be prepared to stay behind I know you better than you think I do Don't worry, dear, this is why I fell in love with you The man in the looking glass Is looking back at you at last [Hook: Roisin Murphy] You can't hide from the truth Because the truth is all there is You can't hide from the truth Because the truth is all there is You can't hide from the truth Because the truth is all there is You can't hide [Verse 2: Roisin Murphy] If happy times are too few and far between It's a pity, dear, we can't erase the things we've seen So disappear, vanish if you wish Just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness And the truth is you can't hide from the truth And the truth hurts, because the truth is all there is I realized some time ago that I would have to let you go May not be true to see that you'll return one day But in your present state, you may as well not be here at all You wear a thin disguise; it's from yourself you hide Just take a look at us – we are heading for a fall [Verse 3: J-Live] Now presiding in this court of Hip-Hop, Justice, my rap forté Is judge, jury, bailiff, and prosecuting D.A Ceteris paribus, my modus operandi Is carpe diem whether de facto or de jure, comprende? The People versus you and your Sensei Teaching that style of word-play, weaker than Wednesday Regardless of what your friends say, they're all dissable Stricken from the record and deemed inadmissible While this long arm of the law grabs the mic to Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later The def sentences of this Live litigator We close the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator Stenographers are steady logging the jargon That your counselors are barking, in hopes of a plea bargain But when you read back verbatim what they're saying to persuade them They realize exactly how I've played them I come with the truth, whole truth, and nothing but 'Cause the truth hurts just as much as fuckin' with Live will I brew skill with refills from now until Plagiarizing MC's get their flows distilled [Verse 4: Roisin Murphy] Baby, I won't die without you by my side As long as you return into these arms that burn Baby, I won't die just take a look inside Into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that yearn I won't die, if you leave me high I won't die if you're not by my side [Hook: Roisin Murphy] And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is You can't hide from the truth Because the truth is all there is You can't hide from the truth...
