Odds – Truth Untold

Awaken from your slumber
and get up for the train
You were caught at your station
and waiting for the rain

Well I call and you answer
and I answer you again
So remember the answer
remember the way it ends

The truth untold
will always lie between us
We may never unfold
the way our lives have brought us here

Now send out all your letters
and write it in the sky
For worse and for better
forever you and I

Then surrender all the ammo
and gather all your charms
Cause it’s gonna burn you and it’s gonna blind you
and it’s gonna tear you arm from arm

The truth untold
will always lie between us
We may never unfold
the way our lives have brought us here

Can we get on this together
is it time to pull the wire?
We’ll I’m gonna learn to unwind you
and I’m gonna earn your faith entire

The truth untold
will always lie between us
We may never unfold
The way our lives have brought us here

Painting inspired by cirrhosis of the liver

Cirr 1974
acrylic on canvas
Jack Bush (1909-1977)
“Cirr is an abbreviation for the disease cirrhosis. This diagnosis given to the artist was also accompanied by an illustration of unhealthy cells caused by the condition. The artist’s response to this disturbing information was to address his concerns through artistic expression.”
