[Verse 1]
2
I found a small red boy inside my tummy
3
With 3 dollars in change and a Milky Way Lite
4
In my occasional pursuit to find something more meaningful
5
Than yet another word that rhymes with "die"
6
I cut him out and put him on my table
7
His shallow-breathing chest would fall and rise
8
His South of Heaven shirt was way too big for him
9
His horns were long and sharp
10
And then he opened up those eyes that said
11
[Chorus 1]
12
I am, I am, I am, I am the truth
13
[Verse 2]
14
I showered him with love and adulation
15
One day he was just as tall as me
16
I showed him all the books that I was raised on
17
Your Madeleine L'Engle's and D'Aulaires Mythology
18
And in a montage that could warm the heart of Hitler
19
I raised him up so proud and motherly
20
I swore that I was glancing in a mirror
21
When in the language that I tought him
22
Oh God, he began to speak, he said
23
[Chorus 2]
24
I am, I am, I am, I am the truth. (x2)
25
[Verse 3]
26
And his eyes became a beacon, an LCD projector
27
Broadcasting all my memories in a clear and vivid picture
28
His tongue became a staircase, his uvula the knocker
29
Of an ornate wooden door that led me straight into my future
30
His throat became a hallway with a thousand baby pictures
31
And I became forgiveness
32
I transformed into the closure that I lost
33
When I learned about the tragedy of all of us
34
I lost it when I learned about the tragedy of all of us
35
Incorrigible illness in the loved ones in and out of us
36
I lost it when I learned about the tragedy of all of us
37
I walked through the hallway to a room of only mirrors
38
Reflecting me in bondage so I watched myself get freer
39
[Bridge]
40
I let my horns grow longer
41
I observed my skin get redder
42
My soul became a hammer
43
I started to feel better
44
My hatred turned to pity
45
My resentment blossomed flowers
46
My bitter tasted candy
47
My misery was power
48
The truth in me grew brighter
49
My nature and my nurture
50
[Chorus 3]
51
No more shame, no more fear, no more dread!
52
I am, I am, I am, I am the truth
