Truth Be Told

I tried to be an island Yeah, I know, I know, I know I tried to be a modern man I know, I know, I know I tried to be a picket fence I broke, I broke, I broke I wonder where my courage went I broke, I broke, I broke How toothless of me to think I could learn to wait I know Why am I so destitute While I'm holding out for a soul? I deal in absolutes when I try To take control Truth be told I try to be more common sense I know, I know, I know A portrait of my elegance I know, I know, I know I whisper something delicate I broke, I broke How ruthless of me to think I can stand the chase How foolish of me to think I can change my shape Oh, I know I am so destitute When I'm holding out for a soul I deal in absolutes when I try To take control Truth be told And the crisis of me My identity in blood How spineless of me to think I don't have the guts I won't be toothless and I'll finally be enough Oh, I know I am so destitute When I'm holding out for a soul I deal in absolutes when I try To take control My body follows through When the winter gets so cold Truth be told Truth be told Truth be told Truth be told
