Adherent

don't let your truth get drowned
in the waters that are left behind
because the house is on fire
and we're leaving everything in mind
there's a sadness in embers
rising up from what you've learned
but somehow I find meaning in
watching every timber burn

If I could speak with my back exposed
and waiting for your blade
would you hear me without contempt
awaiting to engage
because the truth is on trial and
I'm keeping everything inside
because the house is on fire and
I'm leaving everyone behind

don't forget to always gain
from everything you lose
fall out of line open up your eyes
before you have to chose
because our hearts grow colder
every step away from the flame
and when the smoke all clears
every truth has the same name
