Honesty
King's X · Ogre Tones [2005]
Cause I can't tell the shape I'm in
It feels my face is to the wind
But I can't tell the shape I'm in
Honesty can kill
Honesty can heal
Honesty
I take my stay and then I go
But I can't tell so I don't know
If you are high I must be low
But I can't tell so I don't know
Honesty from me
Honesty be free
Honesty
Honesty
Honesty
Honesty
Honesty
