Truth and Consequence Lyrics

I didn't walk away.
I ran away as I could go,
From the shelter and the warmth,
Told the truth that I might know.
So afraid of what I'll find,
So afraid of who I've been,
Breathing out as I pass through time,
Til the years caught up with me.

And now you know the truth.
We all know the truth.
And my consequence is absolute.
I stumble along beyond all reason.
There may never be a light.
To survive, my thirst might shatter,
But I can't be sure I'm right.

Still afraid of what I'll find,
Still afraid of who I've been,
When the sun had left me blind,
The shadows hadn't found me.
And now you know the truth.
We all know the truth.
And my consequence is absolute.
