We Live Not By Lies

We live not by lies. Solzhenitsyn said it. It's still true.

We live not by lies… / We know what one denies,

Lyrics

[Intro]
We live not by lies…
We rise where truth lies.

[Verse 1]
Kings built ballrooms on ego fume,
Shameless doofus duck dick gloom & doom,
People watched ‘em orange mimes,
And laughed with ‘em memes of times...

[Chorus]
But we live not by lies,
We know what one denies,
And we question the whys,
with our wide-open eyes.

[Verse 2]
Some preached in suit, and sold us fear,
Some gilded God, oh Jesus, dear.
But angels warned of holy fraud,
And sprinkled divine on the flawed.

[Chorus]
Know we live not by lies,
We blow what one denies,
As we outgrow the whys,
And flow, wide-open eyes.

[Bridge]
Maybe they sold their souls for real,
Maybe they bought what they can't feel,
But truth ... she cares and hums akin,
True salvation’s under our skin.

[Chorus]
Outgrow what one denies,
Let us live not by lies,
We must question the whys,
with our wide-open eyes.
