Half-Truity Lyrics:

Verse 1:
One is for envy and one just for spite
The country in my heart, they show me new lies
Don�t make it better
Twisting knives through somebody�s ?help?
On to someone else
Something we�re wishing will leave this behind
The answer is there, they need a new lie
Don�t make it better
Checking out can never ??

Chorus:
Anyway,
If we don�t make it alive
It�s a hell of a good day to die
Our lives it takes up
Only lasts for so long
And it�s ashes to ashes again
Should you (we?) even try to pretend
(all?)Our lives it takes up
Only lasts for so long

Verse 2:
Whenever you wake me there�s burn in the way?
Like it is alright to try to go ahead
If it gets the world
Try to see towns ?? ??
Watch the scene revert
Open my eyes
Will (We�ll) leave this behind
?? to get out
?? getting on our lives ??
Don�t make it better
When you can�t see ??

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooa

Bridge:
Living and waiting
???
If it gets the way
??? ??? ??? don�t matter
Matter
Matter

Anyway,
If we don�t make it alive
It�s a hell of a good day to die
Our lives it takes up
Only lasts for so long
And it�s ashes to ashes again
Should you (we?) even try to pretend
(all?)Our lives it takes up
Only lasts for so long
