Tell it to Me Straight

about

That red pill can be hard to swallow, but it's always easier if the decision to take it is quick and without fear.

lyrics

Verse 1
Something’ happened today
And I have to say
It made me question everything

I saw a truth was a lie
I had to say goodbye
Hard to admit as I felt the sting

The world was turned on its head
After what I read
I try to fight it, but the truth is out

This was my greatest fear
When the facts appear
I’ve been played but still I doubt

Chorus 1
But I can take it
So tell it to me straight
Educate me with the cold, hard truth
Before it’s too late

Verse 2
Looking up at the sky
With a watchful eye
Is there somebody looking down at all?

They say that what goes up
Will always come back down
So I’m waiting for the sky to fall

Although it could be said
That I kept my head
Buried deep down in the sand

So I’m asking you
If you’ll be so good
To give me a helping hand

Chorus 2
I can take it
So tell it to me straight
Educate me with the cold, hard truth
Don’t make me wait

Yeah I can take it
So give it to me straight
Educate me with the cold, hard truth
Before it’s too late

Bridge
Been so long
Being so wrong
But looking back
It seems so clear to me

That all my life
Believeing in a lie
That stopped me being me
From being free

Breakdown Verse
Too many years I been lost
I been hypnotized
Now I’m getting’ sick ’n’ tired

I got a mountain to climb
Gonna take some time
You see my mind needs to be re-wired

Solo

Chorus 3
I can take it
So tell it to me straight
Educate me with the cold, hard truth
Don’t make me wait

I can take it
So give it to me straight
Educate me with the cold, hard truth
Before it’s too late

Refrain
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late

So tell it to me straight
