The Offspring – Truth In Fiction (Lyrics)

Written By: Dexter Holland

Lyrics (Start at 0:05):

The video you’re seeing now is not as it appears
Manipulated pixels are confirming all my fears
These toothpicks hold my eyelids up so I can’t look away
There’s no more tears
I know we’ll never make it up to who’re we were before
Insanity is waking up and knocking on our door
Humanity is aching I can’t take it anymore

Aha, deepfake
Truth in fiction’s what we’ve made
Aha, deepfake
Truth in fiction’s what we’ve made
Truth in fiction
Truth in fiction

The fantasy is ending and our dreams are fading fast
Reality is bending whilе the truth becomes thе past
The future is surrendering
You’ll find your truth in fiction of the facts
It hits you like the ocean as it crashes through your door
This tragedy unspoken I can’t take it anymore
Leave my loneliness unbroken
Quoth the raven “nevermore”

Aha, deepfake
Truth in fiction’s our mistake
Aha, deepfake
Truth in fiction’s what we’ve made
Aha, deepfake

Truth in fiction’s what we trade
Aha, deepfake
Truth in fiction’s what we’ve made
Truth in fiction
Truth in fiction

So call it truth in fiction that’s exactly what it is
Society’s affliction we replace the truth with myth
It’s your and my addiction
And it’s solace in the past of how we lived
It hits you like the ocean as it crashes through your door
This tragedy unspoken I can’t take it anymore
Leave my loneliness unbroken
Quoth the raven “nevermore”

Aha, deepfake
Truth in fiction’s our mistake
Aha, deepfake
Truth in fiction’s what we’ve made
Aha, deepfake
Truth in fiction’s what we trade
Aha, deepfake
Truth in fiction’s what we’ve made
