lyrics

A truth becomes ‘the truth’
When a lie gets set in stone
‘The truth’ set me on the sandy land
So on this lie I built a home
Which you stand there and admire.

I never quite caught your eye
But now you search for mine.

I needed you
You needed me
Scrubbed from your memory.

We must live in love as freemen
Or see us die by suicide
If an obituary was needed
That’s a history I can write
Before all your friends and loved ones
Have me up against the wall

I needed you
You needed me
Scrubbed from your memory.

Ain’t never been a fool
Didn’t ever not believe
In the Truth Man telling a lie.

I needed you
You needed me
Scrubbed from your memory.
