It's funny how a little truth can put things in perspective    usually I try to hide from all of life's unpleasantries    like corruption, lies and users   try to ignore all the abusers    but sometimes truth just slaps me in the face      And I can't hide   try to deny deception but now I see the other side    I can't hide    try to regain my innocence but something's changed inside      Funny how perceptions change when you know secret   history    suddenly you see right past the thin veil of diplomacy    like the smiles that invite glare at you    like they're filled with spite   the warm handshakes just seem so out of place    And I can't hide      Every person has a dark side please don't show me yours    I don't really think I want to know you can't be trusted    they say the truth will set you free    but they don't say how deep the cut will be    trust dies and paranoia takes its place   And I can't hide
