The Sound Of Truth Lyrics by As I Lay Dying
Album : An Ocean Between Us
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
we have all heard what we wanted to hear
"truth" that sounds right to our ears

but what wisdom is there within us
to live based on the feeling of our hearts?
how many times has instinct let us down
never to be thought through
never to be questioned
say what you really mean
when your ambition calls you
for what use is there in praying
if you will only hear what you want to hear?

we speak of fighting to resist this world
but what about the battle within us?
if we have chosen to live against the grain
then why are we all facing the same way?
there is no difference between us and them
if we all blindly seek truth from sentiments
we have all heard what we wanted to hear   "truth" that sounds right to our ears      but what wisdom is there within us   to live based on the feeling of our hearts?   how many times has instinct let us down   never to be thought through   never to be questioned   say what you really mean   when your ambition calls you   for what use is there in praying   if you will only hear what you want to hear?      we speak of fighting to resist this world   but what about the battle within us?   if we have chosen to live against the grain   then why are we all facing the same way?   there is no difference between us and them   if we all blindly seek truth from sentiments
