Truth's Empty Promise

Lyrics

Clark flew a lot in the old days He was a fixer, of sorts Invested in the good old ways More than the sum of his parts

In every town he'd ask around "In what do you believe?" The answers shared a common sound Truth and Justice, God and Country

He had a box of memories And labeled it as Me He filled it full of certainties But, still, the box stayed empty

Nothing's gonna set him free Truth's Empty Promise - Change Eternally

Now Clark has mostly gone to ground There's just too much needs fixing Endless voices ever louder He is witness, not believing

He can't help thinking "Where'd it go?" "That sense that we were us." Once we, then me, now hollow As his Sunday suit gathers dust

He had a box of memories And labeled it as Me He filled it full of certainties But, still, the box stayed empty

Nothing's gonna set him free Truth's Empty Promise - Change Eternally

He had a box of memories And labeled it as Me He filled it full of certainties But, still, the box stayed empty

Nothing's gonna set him free Truth's Empty Promise - Change Eternally
