If You Ask
Truth Unveiled: If You Ask by Saturday Looks Good to Me
Lyrics
If you ask, I won't keep nothing from you
If you inquire, I will be completely transparent with you
What good would I be to you if I couldn't tell the truth?
My value to you is in my ability to honestly communicate
But there's a chance
There's a possibility
That even while we're still dancing
Even as we continue to dance
The answer to what you're asking will split your heart in two
Your question might reveal a painful truth
And the blue, blue sky
The clear, serene sky
Will be the only thing you find
Will be the only thing you encounter
On the other side of the night
After the darkness of the night
Look around
Observe your surroundings
See all the buildings burning
Witness the destruction of buildings
Watch your surroundings turn from beautiful to plain
See beauty transform into simplicity
But don't get so down
However, do not become disheartened
There's no use shooting all your arrows at the sun
It's futile to expend all your efforts in a fruitless pursuit
It will all come undown before it gets a name
Things will fall apart before they gain recognition
Before they even give it a name
Before they are acknowledged or named
And the blue, blue sky
The calm, clear sky
Will find a way to change your mind
Will somehow influence your perspective
Or pass you by
Or pass by without affecting you
While you leave yourself behind.
While you abandon your true self
