"Truth #1" lyrics - PATTY GRIFFIN

World of pain I try in vain
To stand in the mist, the smoke and the stain
The brittle years too full of tears
All this crying out yeah
Nobody gives a damn
All these hungry women all these hungry men
All these angry children what do you do with them?
Oh world of pain oh world of pain
Lying lying in a world of pain
Say it don't feel like the truth
When we're together baby oh
It don't feel like the truth
When we're together yeah oh
You're over there in your chair
No touching allowed so I only stare
But I do not believe oh I am not deceived
I'll be banging again to the sound of the rain
All of these hungry feelings all of these angry feelings
Set in motion goes into angry oceans
World of pain world of pain
Lying lying in the world of pain
Say it don't feel like the truth
When we're together baby oh
It don't feel like the truth
When we're together yeah oh
Son of a bitch has stole my boat
Locked the chain around my throat
Threw the ball out in the moat
Wave goodbye and hope it floats
Do I scream a little louder? do I scream a little louder?
Should I scream a little louder, baby? Yeah
Day was quiet as the night I was standing every day
Promised I'd stay out of sight
Promised I'd feel and never say
Do I scream a little louder?
Should I scream a little louder?
Do I scream a little louder,
Baby? Yeah
Sit on the shore waiting for someday
Sit in the cold waiting for one day
I do not believe I do not believe oh
Lying lying in the world of pain
World of pain world of pain
Lying lying in the world of pain
It don't feel like the truth when we're together
It don't feel like the truth when we're together
It don't feel like the truth when we're together
It don't feel like the truth when we're together
