Lyrics
[verse]
I've watched the towers rise and fall like sand
Watched the promises slip out of every hand
The voices on the screen all sell the same old lie
And I've stopped believing in the reasons why
[verse]
I don't trust the men who preach from marble halls
Don't trust the noise behind the crumbling walls
There's not much left that I would swear is true
But there's one thing that always carries through
[chorus]
If I ever lose my faith in everything I've known
There's still one truth I've never had to atone
It's the quiet way you look at me and stay
That keeps the darkness further away
[verse]
I've seen the headlines twist the honest fact
Seen the crowd forget the ones who had their back
So I stopped looking out for something I could hold
Started looking closer to the home I know
[chorus]
If I ever lose my faith in everything I've known
There's still one truth I've never had to atone
It's the quiet way you look at me and stay
That keeps the darkness further away
[bridge]
Systems fail and heroes turn to dust
But your hand in mine is still the only trust
I don't need the world to tell me what is real
When I've got the one thing I can feel
[chorus]
If I ever lose my faith in everything I've known
There's still one truth I've never had to atone
It's the quiet way you look at me and stay
That keeps the darkness further away
