Sometimes the dig,
is better than the find.
Sometimes the fade
is better than the shine.
Sometimes the afters
are better than before.
Sometimes it's better to find what
you're not looking for.

Sometimes it's better
in the dark than the light.
Sometimes it's easier
to run than to stay and fight
Sometimes it's time
to be cruel over kind
Sometimes you see
more when you're blind

It's never easy to be grinning sad
To fall on your face and not feel bad
Pretend the better person
is really you
Living a lie is the burden of truth
It's the burden of truth

Always looking for
what is over there
Always have enough
but not enough to share
Always living
with one foot in the past
Always wishing
the tiny glimmers would last

It's never easy to stay
behind the mask
To obsess over a question,
but never ask
Letting the days go by
before you are through
Living a lie is the burden of truth
It's the burden of truth

Truth is so easy to see,
easy to have but not easy to be
One day no matter how much
you hide, it'll find you
One day no matter how much
you've lied, will define you
O, it's the burden of truth
