Ten Foot Pole - DenialLyrics

It's funny how a little truth can put things in perspective Usually, I try to hide from all of life's un-pleasantries Like corruption, lies, and users Try to ignore all the abusers But sometimes truth just slaps me in the face And I can't hide Try to deny deception, but now I see the other side I can't hide Try to regain my innocence, but something's changed inside Funny how perceptions change when you know secret history Suddenly, you see right past the thin veil of diplomacy Like the smiles that invite glare at you Like they're filled with spite The warm handshakes just seem so out of place And I can't hide Every person has a dark side; please, don't show me yours I don't really think I want to know you can't be trusted They say the truth will set you free But they don't say how deep the cut will be Trust dies and paranoia takes its place And I can't hide
