Norma Jean - IV. The Nexus

We've all heard them say
“It takes one to know one”
“It takes one to know one”
“It takes one to know one”
Well small lies are big lies and we've all told both.

The whole world is wounded
While you stand around
And heal like an angel.

You might think all of this sounds so crazy
But we want to fall where there are padded walls.

I don't wanna be inside while the walls are closing in.
If you want to make this all work then you're gonna have to try.

One word said softly and perseverant
Is the twin of an outright speech
But lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
Lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
But the lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
The lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
Truth is said.

We've all heard them say
“It takes one to know one”
“It takes one to know one”

Yeah
Cause I don't wanna be inside while the walls are closing in.
If you want to make this all work then you're gonna have to try.
I don't wanna be inside while the walls are closing in.
If you want to make this all work then you're gonna have to try.

We've all heard them say

The whole world is wounded

The whole world is wounded

The whole world is wounded
