HONESTY EPILOGUE by Ryan Hall Lyrics
I'm honest
Honest now more than ever, finding comfort in uncertainty
I tore you, please, don't cry, wipe that tear from your eye
I lied to you
But not because I wanted to
Because I let these thoughts and dispositions get in the way
Of what I wanted to call
But it isn't, is it?
It's a fragment of our fantastical imagination
Our failed escape from damnation
And these demons in the back of my head slowly crawled their way forward and poked, stabbed at my eyes
But strong as my fears were I didn't shed one tear
I've started to realize that my dog can feel my hand on his coat when I pet him
And I've thought, how do dogs cry?
I've never seen him cry, I wouldn't know
But I feel like he gets sad when I'm not around for a long time
I pray he never understands the things I do
So he doesn't tangle his mind around the constructs of human emotion
How thinking too much about what's coming next can make everything
In the moment worse
So I pledge, shed no light into the future
And shed no tears any sooner
Honest now more than ever, finding comfort in uncertainty
I tore you, please, don't cry, wipe that tear from your eye
I lied to you
But not because I wanted to
Because I let these thoughts and dispositions get in the way
Of what I wanted to call
But it isn't, is it?
It's a fragment of our fantastical imagination
Our failed escape from damnation
And these demons in the back of my head slowly crawled their way forward and poked, stabbed at my eyes
But strong as my fears were I didn't shed one tear
I've started to realize that my dog can feel my hand on his coat when I pet him
And I've thought, how do dogs cry?
I've never seen him cry, I wouldn't know
But I feel like he gets sad when I'm not around for a long time
I pray he never understands the things I do
So he doesn't tangle his mind around the constructs of human emotion
How thinking too much about what's coming next can make everything
In the moment worse
So I pledge, shed no light into the future
And shed no tears any sooner
