I can't be worrying worrying all the time about the truth
I have to worry 'bout the truth that can be lived with
The naked truth is undisguised and barefacedly ruthless
So I pick out the worries I can cope with
I can't be facing the reality with my eyes skinned
The truth is meant to be refined, not taken raw
So don't worry me with worries I have chosen to present
On my doorstep, every time I come and go
And that is the difference between
Losing your marbles, drinking the salty sea
Or swallowing the fresh water
From the streams
It's a thin line between turquoise and green
Every moment has a different shade
I color my poor trail with tones in between
Cherishing illusions I made
With one leg in the future and the other in the past
I face the now that I am able to inhale
The truth I chose to speak of is the one I want to last
A partial half truth, that's allowing me to fail
And that is the difference between
Losing your marbles, drinking the salty sea
Or swallowing the fresh water
From the streams
It's a thin line between turquoise and green
Every moment has a different shade
I color my poor trail with tones in between
Cherishing illusions I made
