Facing Up

Written by：Marshall AltmanKate Voegele

I use no exaggeration

Clearly hanging by a thread

And I'm running low on patience

But don't go blame it on yourself

I wish I was in my right mind

But I've left myself unnecessary chore

I make it bad when it's just fine

I was whole and sure but now I'm clearly torn

And there's nothing left for me to do

Right and left both bring me to

The center of my deepest fear

Where the truth is oh so clear

Embracing inescapable truth

And that's facing up to you

And truth is so cruel

Continual irresolution

Keeps me shackled to the ground

I've been in dire need of revolution

For far too many days to count

I thought I was safe in my hiding place

But it sure is exhausting living in chains

It's paradoxical in every way

Nothing makes sense I can't tell love from hate

And there's nothing left for me to do

Right and left both bring me to

The center of my deepest fear

Where the truth is oh so clear

Embracing inescapable truth

And that's facing up to you

Truth is so cruel

I'm begging myself to make something out of it

I give up still unable to comprehend

My own true will Incomprehensible

Nothing left for me to do

Right and left both bring me to

The center of my deepest fear

Where the truth is oh so clear

Embracing inescapable truth

And that's facing up to you

Facing up to you facing up to you
