    This is a song that has already been here on MP3.com, just as an instrumental. I sat down merely to re-record it with a better computer, and blam, wrote all the lyics and melody lines right there that day. I haven't had many moments of divine inspiration like that in many many moons...

    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this song very improvisationally, only a few takes; the bridge is a one take, never typed out or wrote down a single word before hitting the record button. I just let my thoughts and mood transcend based apon the music. I was quite suprised at how odd the lyrics came out, I just don't think it's my writing style... I have a high level of pride with this song. I have always always always loved the music. I have been playing this song for well over 4 years now, and I just thought that to put words to it that they would have to be very very special, and I am totally satisfied with the results.

    Lyrics
    Truth
    written by Geoff Kennedy


    throw away the morning
    toss aside the day
    tuck in all the shadows
    that turn you to grey

    turn on the car
    but don't drive anywhere
    bring yourself up from the bottom
    and they just stop and stare

    I'm not wrong
    But I'm not okay
    I'm not sorry
    That I can't turn away
    Tell me the truth
    Or tell me a lie
    The sun is shining somewhere
    Else tonight

    pretend that you're sleeping
    so i don't know you're home
    the calls keep coming in
    they just remind you your alone

    you want to build some borders
    something to protect
    you wanna know what love is
    something to forget

    I'm not wrong
    But I'm not okay
    I'm not sorry
    That I can't turn away
    Tell me the truth
    Or tell me a lie
    The sun is shining somewhere
    Else tonight

    Baby don't you think that
    I've got a little more riding on this to lose
    And darling don't you think
    I've thought this over a little more than you
    Baby don't you think that I know that every time you close your eyes
    You try to look deep inside
    You always try to find the things that make you who you are
    But the things you love get in the way

    I'm not wrong
    But I'm not okay
    I'm not sorry
    That I can't turn away
    Tell me the truth
    Or tell me a lie
    The sun is shining somewhere
    Else tonight
