Lyrics

Inside the Earth, straight from my mind
Traumatic birth, my mother behind
A knife in my pocket and a bottle of wine
The stranger I split it with should be doing time
These pretty pennies are covered in dirt
But money is money, so dirty will work
And everything's funny if the comic's a jerk
You're cheering and laughing at decades of hurt
And nobody sees it when everyone's blind
Then when it's uncovered, they're shocked at the find
And nobody's changing since good people die
King Honesty covers up in a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
In a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Inside of me, inside of my chest
There is a woman I can't put to rest
She's struggle and strife with her hair in a mess
I don't know her at all, but I send her my best
And these tired footprints are stuck in the sand
But walking is walking, this proves that we can
And everything's artwork with a camera in hand
Photograph of a headstone, cover for a band
And nobody sees it when everyone's blind
Then when it's uncovered, they're shocked at the find
And nobody's changing since good people die
And King Honesty covers up in a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
In a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Nobody told me I'm supposed to feel
Sorry for people I wish weren't real
Nobody told me that honesty is
Necessary to prove that I know how to live
And if I'm not truthful then how can I be
A woman of summit and God and belief?
And if I'm not truthful then what's that make me?
What's that make me, King Honesty?
And nobody sees it and everyone's blind
Then when it's uncovered, they're shocked at the find
And nobody's changing since good people die
King Honesty, King Honesty, King Honesty covers up in a lie
In a lie
Oh, in a lie
In a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
