lyrics

Not many people realise
That when you write a song
You don't choose
What it's about

Not many people realise
No matter what you do
The truth comes
Pouring out

Not many people realise
That if you fake the words
The tune
Will give it away

Not many people realies
That in every single song
There's something that the writer wants to hide away
CHORUS
But whatever you choose it doesn't matter
'Cos it will be your biggest mistake
The truth can be a bastard
But that's the road that you'll take

Not many people realise
When you take the red pill
There really is
No going back

And not many people realise
That when you start singing truth
It will never let up
Its attack

And not many people realise
The truth gets in the way
Of all your pretty little
Plans

Not many people realise
That once you know the truth
The choice is out of your hands.

CHORUS
But whatever you choose... etc.

I sit here all alone In front of my screen
I try to find an order to the things that I have seen
I see you standing in the haze
An alcoholic hormone blazing
Rush which I can't hide away
Maybe she will be okay
I hope one day that I will learn
But she does not deserve to burn
Until that day comes, I must stagger
Along this long and winding jagged
Road I keep inside my mind
Searching for something to find.

CHORUS
But whatever I do it doesn't matter
'Cos the trail I leave in my wake
(Will be a) trail of disaster
On the road that I take.
