Tub of Truth

I soaked in a tub of Truth today

When I put myself in

It burned and stung

As if I was on fire I retreated

Doused myself in lies and deceit

Convinced myself it was the truth

But I knew

Because I soaked in a tub of Truth today

It burned my skin like acid lakes

And now I'm drowning

I didn't want to admit to myself

Can you tell that I'm

Drowning in a tub of truth

My head went under

And I started to breathe

I breathed in the truth

That maybe this would work

And I screamed out

I screamed out

In a tub of Truth

I washed off all the faces I'd made

My tears turned my skin

Exfoliate

I drowned in a tub of Truth today

I saw myself turning to goodbye

It burned my skin like acid lakes

You wouldn't turn this skin white

I washed off all the faces I'd made

Turned to the mirror and saw myself

For once I felt I had made a choice

That felt so good I heard no noise

Because today

I drowned in a tub of truth
