Truth Lies Low Lyrics

Here’s a little game
You can play along
Where you do the walk of shame
From the comfort of your home

So here’s another game
You can play along
Where you empty all your blame
From your guilty bones

Well the eyes, the eyes, the eyes they know
Like a thousand tiny suns ago
While the eyes, the eyes, the eyes they know
Watch you lie slow
While truth lies low

So here’s another game

Fools are taking aim
They got pistols in their phones
Holocene is one the wane
We got plastic in our stones

Well the lies, the lies, the lies, they grow
Like a thousand tributaries flow
Oh the icy, icy, eyes you know
While truth lies low
While truth lies low

Vitriol from their pens flows
Anonymously their hate grows
But at least they care enough
At least they care enough
At least they care enough
To let you know

Cover art for Truth Lies Low lyrics by Andrew Bird

Lyrics are slightly off. Should be "you can play it alone" first verse, and also "suns that glow".

Seems the song was inspired by some hate mail, but the lyrics also apply in general to those people seeking to always cut someone down for whatever reason. But just look in their eyes and see why the real truth lies low (is unspoken)... So empty that vacant blame when you're alone.
