Justification lyrics

We have tried and failed
We have stumbled and fallen
We have tried a new taste
and we spit it back out
We have taken a left turn
when we meant to turn right
We lost sight of our origins
but our past never lost sight of us
lost sight of us
It`s not emulation - `cause that`s not this hard
Not imitation - `cause that won`t take you far
Not digression - `cause I`m falling straight up
It is progression - I`m not afraid to stand up

I don`t know what I expected
but I expected it to be great
I said `I`m trying my hardest`
but he didn`t like the tape
Take a look at what you`re doing
and tell me I`m too late
You say we`re walking backwards
Well, that dead horse sure can run
It sure can run

The truth

I know I can
I know I will
I know - I know what I have to do

And now you`ll listen
and I hope it won`t hurt
I`ve seen your poison
You`ve done your worst
I`ve seen your better
and I can`t believe it`s true
You`ve lost the truth
that used to live inside of you
