The Only Answer

from The Only Answer by Ross W Berman IV

lyrics

I don’t mean to raise hell, but I’m a hellraiser.
I’ve been one since the day that I was born.
Many times, I’ve scared my parents breathless,
and many times their love has kept me warm

And it's true, that love’s the only answer
And it's true, that sometimes family hurts
And it's true, that I was bullshit’s last disciple
but it's true that even the wicked do love’s work

I tore down my hometown in my memories
I burnt my school to ash upon the soil
I bit every single hand that fed me
And now I bite my own hand while I toil

And it's true, that love’s the only answer
And it's true, that sometimes family hurts
And it's true, that I was bullshit’s last disciple
but it's true that even the wicked do love’s work

I held the truth so loosely that I lost it
I told the lie so hard that I believed
And now I let the wind tear at my bare skin
To prove that I have nothing up my sleeve

And it's true, that love’s the only answer
And it's true, that sometimes family hurts
And it's true, that I was bullshit’s last disciple
but it's true that even the wicked do love’s work

Someone told me God’s the only answer
but they were the type to worship a quick fix
I’ll never know if God is just a story
but I know for certain love exists

And it's true, that love’s the only answer
And it's true, that sometimes family hurts
And it's true, that I was bullshit’s last disciple
but it's true that even the wicked do love’s work
