Say Something True (words & music by Craig Haller)
One-sided, two-sided, red-sided, blue
Distorting the truth with a blind point of view
You say you have the answer - I have to disagree, sir
You don’t know what you’re talking about
Distracted, protracted, outlandish disputes
You overreact with malicious refutes
It’s all a bit reductive, not a bit productive
No one cares how loud you can shout
Just say something true
It’s getting harder to break through
Say something true
Or better yet, say nothing at all (shh)
Left-sided, right-sided, blind-sided fools
Power is taken by breaking the rules
We need a new solution, a seismic revolution
Or maybe we’re too little too late
To say something true
It’s getting harder to break through
Say something true
Or better yet, say nothing at all
Better to say nothing at all
We’re all in this together, tethered by the weight of the world
One-sided, two-sided, red-sided, blue
We all sing along while ignoring the tune
A broken little whisper, fading like a picture
Burning in a flicker of light
Say something true
It’s getting harder to break through
Say something true
Or better yet, say nothing at all
Better to say nothing at all
We’re all in this together, tethered by the weight of the world

Craig Haller was born with a chip on his shoulder and a song in his heart. His music is the byproduct of many hours spent in
obsessive contemplation. With a flair for memorable melodies and an overabundance of poetic license, he happily casts himself as lord of his own creative landscape—a land of genre fluidity, appetizing aural atmospheres, and turns of phrase that refuse to be pinned down....more
