When Truth Hits Harder Than Fiction

Words by Sleepy Elvis

Verse 1

Ain’t no angels in the rearview, just the ones I ran off the road

Every prayer I ever whispered came back dressed in smoke

You can hide behind a story, but the mirror never lies

It just waits until the whiskey burns the story from your eyes

Chorus

When truth hits harder than fiction

You stop lookin’ for a fix or a sign

It don’t care about your best intentions

It just cuts through the pretty lines

No book, no song, no preacher’s diction

Can soften what you already know

When truth hits harder than fiction

It leaves nowhere left to go

Verse 2

I’ve seen liars wear white halos, and the good ones take the fall

Watched a man drown in salvation, still beggin’ for it all

It’s a cold kind of freedom when you finally understand

That the story ain’t the hero — it’s the blood on his hands

Bridge

They sell redemption in verses

And love like it’s a show

But the price tag on a promise

Ain’t somethin’ they let you know

Chorus (reprise)

When truth hits harder than fiction

You stop runnin’ from the end

You just light a smoke, take the hit, and listen

To the silence settle in again
