Truth in Bone

[Verse 1] December seventh, ninety-nine I was learning how to bite the wire Every loss left a dent in my spine Still I stood in the smoke and fire They said fold I said watch me I learned pain got a name And it watched me Bare hands, cold nights Still I moved with a mean little grace Faith in truth Had to keep that face to the blaze [Pre-Chorus] No fake love No soft lies Only scars And open eyes If I fall I fall forward If I crawl I crawl toward it [Chorus] Put faith in truth Put faith in truth Break me down I come back through Put faith in truth Put faith in truth Raw and brutal That’s what I do [Verse 2] I seen friends turn ghost in the hallway Talk tough, then they vanish by dawn I was built from the break and the wrong way Still the hunger stayed sharp and strong Every insult Turned to fuel Every bruise Turned to proof I don’t beg I don’t plead I just plant my feet and move Hands dirty Heart loaded Mind like a blade Kept honed in If the world want blood Then I show it Not a saint But I know it [Pre-Chorus] No fake love No soft lies Only scars And open eyes If I fall I fall forward If I crawl I crawl toward it [Chorus] Put faith in truth Put faith in truth Break me down I come back through Put faith in truth Put faith in truth Raw and brutal That’s what I do [Bridge] I don’t need a crown I need a reason I don’t need applause I need breathing Every cracked rib Every hard mile Built this face Built this style [Chorus] Put faith in truth Put faith in truth Break me down I come back through Put faith in truth Put faith in truth Raw and brutal That’s what I do
