Blind Side of the Truth

Verse 1

They sell you fear in the evening news,

Wrapped in red, white, and a preacher’s blues.

Say, “Trust us, son, we’ll keep you safe,”

While they’re countin’ gold in a stranger’s grave.

We trade our minds for a steady lie,

Don’t ask why the truth won’t look you in the eye.

Chorus

On the blind side of the truth, we’re livin’ in the dark,

Letting thieves and kings both tear us apart.

We forgot the law of love, forgot to stand as one,

Now we’re cold as steel under a dying sun.

Open your eyes before it all comes due—

We’re all standin’ on the blind side of the truth.

Verse 2

We turn our backs on the stranger’s hand,

Build higher walls ‘stead of higher plans.

The weak cry out, but we don’t hear,

Too busy drownin’ in our own cheap beer.

Once we swore we’d never bend that way,

But a heart grows hard when you hide it every day.

Chorus

On the blind side of the truth, we’re livin’ in the dark,

Letting thieves and kings both tear us apart.

We forgot the law of love, forgot to stand as one,

Now we’re cold as steel under a dying sun.

Open your eyes before it all comes due—

We’re all standin’ on the blind side of the truth.

Bridge

The press spins stories like a carnival wheel,

While the real deal’s hidden in a backroom deal.

They feed us crumbs so we stay in line,

Then they toast our names over expensive wine.

Verse 3

It ain’t too late to turn around,

Tear these paper kingdoms down.

Shake the chains and break the spell,

Find the love we once knew well.

Final Chorus

On the blind side of the truth, we’re livin’ in the dark,

Letting thieves and kings both tear us apart.

We forgot the law of love, forgot to stand as one,

Now we’re cold as steel under a dying sun.

Open your eyes before it all comes due—

We’re all standin’ on the blind side of the truth.

Outro

Blind side… of the truth…

Don’t let ‘em take it… away from you…
