Post Truth

by Wayne Mosh

/
1.
So I tried to wake up Can’t forget your name I saw a picture of you lying there On the way we stumbled In the summer rain It left a hollow look inside your stare They said it’s worth us saving But they never had to bleed For a dream that only makes you wait With all the best ones leaving We held to our belief That rescue comes to those of us who stay Oh where is your god now When the devil’s at the door Ain’t no saviors to be found They don’t come here anymore The book of Lamentations Was written in our home Can’t get safe from kept happening So all those years in shadows Inside our minds alone We lost salvation in unspoken things Now our paper tigers Stain our history With echoes of a life that got away The treasure we thought we found Is getting hard to see Gods and kings were never meant to stay Oh where is your god now When the devil’s at the door Ain’t no saviors to be found They don’t come here anymore Can I get a symphony For loosing our philosophy And every time the prophets see We move on Way up in the cheaper seats They’re sticky with their apathy But they’re not gonna miss a beat So play on Oh hallelujah It’s all gone away Trying to loose ya Is like holding a weight

High on a mountaintop We were the true believers And we burned the bastards up And left them by the river Little Shivers Come back to center A message left in stone Tiny ripples turn monumental Until it’s broken every bone You let it bleed so you won’t feel alone You let it bleed so you won’t feel it Our hearts were cold as Hell And we stopped the light from shinning Tossed in a wishing well Our lies that we’d been hiding Little Shivers Come back to center A message left in stone Tiny ripples turn monumental Until it’s broken every bone You let it bleed so you won’t feel alone You let it bleed so you won’t feel it It’s haunting me The whispers of what we’ve done A broken harmony A baptism just begun Tell me who could breathe With skeletons like these Little Shivers Come back to center A message left in stone Tiny ripples turn monumental Has broken every bone You let it bleed so you won’t feel alone You let it bleed so you won’t feel it

Still A Fire 04:51
I’m always fighting a loosing battle Where what I want keeps beating me Now and then it’s just a weightless shackle That keeps me tied to the remedy I can not blame it on a slow reaction Can’t dig a hole and bury deep Every single useless fraction Every moment I believed But to fade into you Is all I can do Where some how I get found It’s robbing me clean With a failure to dream The pages come unbound But the keep hanging around Gone away with a faithful habit When serenity can’t be found I never thought that it really matters It’s not a demon I’ve been keeping down But to fade into you Is all I can do Where some how I get found It’s robbing me clean With a failure to dream The pages come unbound But the keep hanging around It goes on yeah it’s never over It’s still a fire when there’s just a smolder

It seems the more that I miss the more it begins to happen like this Every echo repeating bible verses and screaming And although and effort was made everyone knew that it couldn’t be saved We drilled down to the center but no one would enter In daylight we love to say that all our dragons have flown away But when the night comes we must admit that all our dragons still exist And they’re haunting my love And all the monuments made for every lost soul that Jesus would save No sin for the sinner in a nuclear winter In daylight we love to say that all our dragons have flown away But when the night comes we must admit that all our dragons still exist And they’re haunting my love

Oh Vanity 04:43
California night shade won’t stay shut Can’t afford to mention what we’ve done And all the broken arrows tend to drift On every other night that feels like this If you let up for a minute There’ll be another who’ll forget it Counting down the last few seconds With lonely effigies Oh vanity your war with peace You clean your guns with whispers the it’s over An apology I can’t repeat Won’t make the sun rise up any slower And you can’t trust you with the truth Whosoever says they’re gonna stay Always will be stalled by this place We chased all the best ones through the night Leaving nothing but a burning light If you let up for a minute There’ll be another who’ll forget it Counting down the last few seconds With lonely effigies Oh vanity your war with peace You clean your guns with whispers the it’s over An apology I can’t repeat Won’t make the sun rise up any slower And you can’t trust you with the truth

I got a shell shocked brother Makes me keep my heart in armor And I wanna call my mother But I think that it might harm her If she knew what I know about you I’ve been there and you know that it’s true And I can hear You tell em what they want to hear Tell em what they want to hear Tell em what they want to hear You tell them what they wanted Every avalanche is wasted On a thousand blurry places And you that you should face it But you haven’t got the patience To be true when it comes to you I’ve been there and you that it’s true And I can hear You tell em what they want to hear Tell em what they want to hear Tell em what they want to hear You tell them what they wanted I could tell you secrets about living with the devil In a mention underground on the very bottom level I could show you rooms where I was covered up with stars And handed out like candy by strangers in white cars I’ve known alligators who could eat you while they’re laughing I’ve been static I’ve been plastic I’ve been everything that happens I could make you cry I could pull it all apart Without meaning anything I would stab you in your heart I’ve seen every color when there wasn’t any light I have drifted out beyond I’ve drifted then took flight Walking on the water is my favorite metaphor Like there really is no meaning or it’s all been done before
7.
Oh save me for later I know it feels precious But I ain’t no savior They catch you slipping off the track Slidin so far you can’t get back And every little heart attack Nothing stays and nothing last But I’ve been turned off for so long Forgotten what I’m made for Forgotten what I know for sure And I was buried and locked away Left without connection Gave up on resurrection But this is my third day Once the sirens stop Once the feelings lost Giving up on another day Buying back what you gave away But I’ve been turned off for so long Forgotten what I’m made for Forgotten what I know for sure And I was buried and locked away Left without connection Gave up on resurrection But this is my first day now It all begins like this No more will I be waiting For a life I forgot to miss But I’ve been turned off for so long Forgotten what I’m made for Forgotten what I know for sure And I was buried and locked away Left without connection Gave up on resurrection But this is my third day

Never could find God I rolled away the stone Tripped through outer space In my body all alone Got twisted in the subtlety and blinded by the light Thought I found it in recovery But it was just another fight And I’m tired Of looking For truth When there’s nothing Left for me to find And I’m tired Of believing That it all has a meaning When the meaning Is A lie Oh could you runaway Or could you let it bleed It’s a capitol offense To the holy laws of greed And I think I’ve had enough I don’t think you understand That the devil in the machine Looks like a righteous man So let’s grind the bastards down Let’s burn this up Let’s bring it to the ground Like the holy laws of love oh

about

The first time I took mushrooms it became perfectly clear that I see the world very black and white. But I lived and still do live a very gray life. In a dichotomy that frankly leaves me feeling as if I'm teetering on a balance beam. Trying to figure if the beam is the "truth" or if there even is such a thing.
So I guess these songs are just me wrestling and angle in the desert.
