In “Anything But The Truth,” the narrator wonders how they can tell someone the truth about the negative aspects of the world while still protecting them.
[Verse 1]
If they tell me that the bees don't make honey anymore
Then what am I supposed to tell you?
And if they tell me that the ocean is tired of her shores
Then tell me what am I supposed to tell you?
[Chorus]
When I can't tell you anything
But the truth
I can't tell you anything
But the truth
[Verse 2]
What happens to an eagle's nest in a storm?
How does the mama keep the baby warm?
What if the wind is telling us that it's time?
And what if we're not ready to fly?
[Chorus]
When I can't tell you anything
But the truth
I can't tell you anything
But the truth
[Bridge]
Tree tops they touch the ground
In the morning walk with no sound
Hear no birds, hear no planes
Through the mud, feel the clay
Build it up, make it sing
Make it strong, give it wings
[Chorus]
But I can't tell you anything
But the truth
And I can't tell you anything
[Outro 1]
What is this place?
Who am I?
Why did we come here?
What is this place?
Who am I?
Why did we come here?
[Outro 2]
I don't know, I don't know
But I don't know that we're meant to know
I don't know, I don't know
But I don't know that we're meant to know
