Upbeat rock song about the tendency of people to hide from their own flaws, and mask their true thoughts and intentions.
Inspired by many deep conversations with my wife on how what people say doesn't really line up with what they do.
We don't know what we don't know
And we won't own it when we're wrong
We only show when it's overblown
That's when we know we've gotten lost
The path is winding
There's no way of finding
Just how much we're hiding from the truth
[Chorus]
Grab the first stone and throw it
Glass houses we made are broken
The hands of the clock have spoken
At the end of it all
The mountains we made of hills will turn to dust
When nothing is working we resort to hurting
And we burn it all down with flames of doubt
Our only hope is that it's not too broken
And we have to let the poison out
Why are we lying
It's not worth the fighting
Because everyone dies, it's up to you
[Chorus]
Why are we hiding from the truth?
Pick up the pieces, time to move
Why are we hiding from the truth?
It's not what we say it's what we do
We won't grow if we don't show
That we have to own it when we're wrong
