Truth - Box of Rain - The End of Words

from The End of Words by Tim Hawthorn & the Archetypes

/

lyrics

I've been fighting, fighting so long
Trying so hard not to become who I am
Oh maybe man.
I've been tossing off into the dark
Pumping seed down the drain while I'm whistling Bach, it's a shame
No never again.

And there is no right and there is no wrong,
there just is
and the truth is:
If it ain't free it ain't love
and my truth is that I love you all and I can't make up my mind ...

I've been searching for someone like you
To hold me tight and make my dreams come true in the end
Let's still be friends.
Everyone's a mirror into which we see
A tiny part of what we'd like to be, but all at one time?
Fast come time to realign with all of you.

Ooh - could it be completely true?
Aah - could our love really stretch that far?
Aye - you look so good tonight ...
Will we ever get it right?

If it ain't free it ain't love
and my truth is I'm in love with you and I'm hoping you don't mind

If it ain't free it ain't love
And the truth is it just is
And the truth does it justice
and my truth is that I love you all and I'm hoping you don't mind

---

This emotion is too confused,
I've got to get it sorted, check it out, shit what am I saying, fix my head the right way up now,
How can I explain, if you've never felt it like this?
Take my hand, this could be our last chance.

For I am the Hunter, gaze on my form
Deep in the forest is the fire that will keep us warm
Between the fireside and the candle flame
There is a land that has no name

For this is not madness, this is a beautiful wildness
Allow us a space for the beautiful forest to grow
For this kind of happiness can never be explained
And I don't believe that I understand anything else

Fire of seed, hope of flame
The home of the simple and the end of the game
The ending of strife, the stockings of caridwen
The memory of reason and its communication
Freedom if you want it ?
NOW!

You know I'd refuse to understand anything else
I don't believe I ever understood a word
So I'm singing this song for everyone who doesn't understand
And I don't believe that I understand anything.
