She greets the same friends every Wednesday
Plays the same word games, they don’t suspect a thing
She can’t show the bullet holes in her soul
Afraid of what they might say
He walks the stage barely awake
Doesn’t get much sleep these days, he won’t say why
Doesn’t believe a single word he speaks
But they applaud, and he preaches on
When you’re stuck in a prison
Dead-ended by your good intentions
You got in deep and you need a key
I heard of one that could set you free
Honesty
A little bit of authenticity
Sayin’ words you really mean
Try a little bit of honesty
When you know that something’s wrong
Spirit’s gone but the show goes on
You play a little puppet made out of pride
When you’ve lost God but keep the facade
With questions you can’t ask
Cause you don’t know where they lead
So you in shroud it all secrecy and bleed into your diary
And bury all the evidence
Afraid it won’t make any sense
I’ve been there my friend
And if you want some peace
You gotta try a little
Honesty
To say what’s really going on with me
We’re so addicted to certainty
But have you tried a little honesty?
Yeah, you can’t put it together if you don’t see at all the pieces
And facts don’t go away with make believe
Well the roots are sometimes bitter but the fruit they grow is sweet
And the truth might not be pretty but it always sets you free
Honesty
Yeah it takes a little bravery
You never know where the road could lead
But we all need a little honesty
Honesty
A little bit of authenticity
Sometimes I wonder what the world could be
With a little more honesty
Honesty
Just say what you’re thinking
When you’re stuck and you need a key
Might want to try a little honesty
Honesty
A little bit of authenticity
When you’re stuck and you need a key
Try a little bit of honesty
