Lyrics

Truth kills everybody and lies can lead your mind into
Open doors protect nobody 
Once inside you can't get through
Eyes are closed like cameras, shutting out important light
What you really risk is only what you know by sight

Truth kills
Truth kills

Hiding from the mountains and the mountains hiding you
Burning burning, burning sunset 
Only glad to

Eyes are closed like cameras, shutting out important light
What you really risk is only what you know by sight

Truth kills
Truth kills

Take a look at my new toy
It will blow you head in two oh boy
It will take you down on peagasue (?)

Truths kills everybody and lies can lead your mind into
Open doors protect nobody
Once inside you can't get through
Eyes are closed like cameras, shutting out important light
What you really risk is only what you know by sight

Truth kills
Truth kills

Hiding from the mountains and the mountains hiding you
Burning burning, burning sunset 
Only glad to

Eyes are closed like cameras, shutting out important light
What you really risk is only what you know by sight

Truth kills
Truth kills
