Dead Certain

[Verse 1] You built a house out of "I told you so" Where the windows are boarded and the weeds won’t grow. You speak in thunder, you breathe in smoke With a crown of iron and a heart of oak You call it your truth, you call it the way, But you’re just a ghost in a suit of clay. [Chorus] Oh, the truth’s a mountain, and the climb is slow, But you’re claiming the summit with nowhere to go. You’d rather hold your ground on a bed of lies, Than look at the world with open eyes. Yeah, you’re dead certain, but the truth’s alive. [Verse 2] I’m out in the valley, I’m digging the dirt, Seeking the marrow, living with the hurt. Calling the elders, weighing the stone, 'Cause the deepest things ain't found alone. You’re shouting answers at a silent sky, While the honest heart is asking "Why?" [Bridge] It’s a fragile thing, a certain man. Sifting the ocean for a grain of sand But you’ve got a fist where you need an open hand. [Chorus] Oh, the truth’s a mountain, and the climb is slow, But you’re claiming the summit with nowhere to go. You’d rather hold your ground on a bed of lies, Than look at the world with open eyes. Yeah, you’re dead certain, but the truth’s alive. [Outro] Keep your claimed facts. I’ll keep the true light
