about

“The Truth is Never True,” is a song about casting aside the happy-talk things we learned in childhood that ended up being just wishful thinking. No jet packs, no Easter Bunny, no perfect life. It’s the final song from the forthcoming Sideshow album (which will be released in it’s entirety as a CD or LP early next year).

The “Sideshow” album has grown from one song to 12 over 2021 as a digital-only album, and when it’s complete it will be released on CD or as an LP.

lyrics

The truth is never true
Your parents lied to you
Your time has come, you're done
And the bills are due...

The Potter’s Field
Will never yield
You mustn’t misconstrue
The ghosts of wrath tread a tortured path it’s true

It’s a turning point
That would disappoint
A better man than you
You can cry and cry but the Word will never do

Those nursery rhymes
From your childhood times
Should ease you on your way
But there aren’t any blacks or whites just grey

There’s no sense in it, but do your bit
If it helps you make it through
Make a show of it, it’s all that you can do

By the way
There’s no Hell to pay
So try to muddle through
No one cares about the likes of you

Where we’ve been or where we go
No one gives a damn
Let this be an epic epigram…
