Home Truths - Lucie Silvas

Make a bed you gotta lie in

Dark room you go and cry in

And a basement for a box of old dreams

There’s a TV in the living room

You tune in in the afternoon

And only see what you wanna see

Home truths…

We close up all the shutters

Paint the walls a different color

While we dance around each other in the halls

We polish up the mirrors

And we line up all the pictures

But inevitably they’re all gonna fall

If we keep it together

Keep our cards close

Never break character

We’ll never need to know the home truths…

I wanna tell 'em all to you

Home truths…

When you gonna tell me yours too?

When you gonna tell me yours too?

We throw parties on the patio

For friends of friends that we don’t know

We catch each other’s eyes across the room

Outside hanging dirty laundry

Looks like white sails on a calm sea

Searching for a way to tell the truth

If we keep it together

Keep our cards close

Never break character

We’ll never need to know the home truths…

I wanna tell 'em all to you

Home truths…

When you gonna tell me yours too?

Let’s burn it all down

'Til there’s ashes on the ground

Until there’s nothing left to lose

But home truths…

Home truths…

I wanna tell 'em all to you

Home truths…

When you gonna tell me yours too?

Home truths…

I wanna tell 'em all to you

Home truths…

When you gonna tell me yours too?

When you gonna tell me

When you gonna tell me

When you gonna tell me yours too?

When you gonna tell me

When you gonna tell me

When you gonna tell me yours too?

When you gonna tell me

When you gonna tell me

When you gonna tell me yours too?
