about

THE MUSIC:
I love this sample. It takes me back to the days of Mother Brain. This beat was originally slated for another project but never saw the light of day. Shortly after Flesh Weapon was formed, we had decided that the instrumental (as well as a few others) was well suited for the project.

THE CONCEPT:
"Brutal Honesty" was one of the earlier considerations for the band's name. After settling on the name Flesh Weapon, we had decided that "Brutal Honesty" was a great concept for a song (and a horrible band name BTW). The lyrics ARE based in reality, however, We've never told each other what or whom our verses are based on. Strange, but true.

lyrics

LYRICS:

BEING HONEST WITH MYSELF IS THE HARDEST THING TO DO / DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S A PROBLEM FOR YOU / YOU KNOW YOURSELF AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN THROUGH / COULD I PLEASE JUST WALK A MILE IN YOUR SHOES

I'M NOT THE TYPE TO SAY THINGS THAT NEED NOT BE SAID / BUT YOU NEED TO GET SOME THINGS INSIDE YOUR HEAD / NO ONE THAT YOU KNOW HAS THE AUDACITY / TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR FROM ME


I WON'T HOLD MY TONGUE ANY LONGER / I'M DONE SUGAR-COATING THE TRUTH / YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO THE MIRROR / THEN TELL ME HOW IS THE VIEW


WOULD YOU EVEN LISTEN IF I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH / YOU'D PROBABLY COUNTER IT BY SAYING THAT I JUST DON'T GET YOU / LISTEN UP AND LISTEN GOOD BECAUSE I'LL ONLY SAY IT ONCE / YOU CAN FOOL YOURSELF BUT YOU CAN' T FOOL ALL OF US


TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST / YOU MAKE ME WANT TO VOMIT / AND TURN INTO THE CREATURE / FROM THE NIGHT OF THE COMET / WITH ALL THE LIES YOU TOLD / AND ALL THE KNIVES YOU STOLE / AND TRIED TO STAB INTO MY BACK / LIKE THAT WAS POSSIBLE / NOW DID YOU REALLY BELIEVE / THAT I WAS CLOSE TO THE BRINK / I WORE MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE / AND TOLD IT ALL TO MY SHRINK / I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS MOTHER FUCKER / DEDICATED TO YOU / I'M THROWING UP THE "F" / WITHOUT THE "W"


DO I NEED TO POINT OUT ALL YOUR FAILED RELATIONSHIPS / OR THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS TOTAL BULLSHIT / DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE A FUCKING DRAMA QUEEN / OR SHOULD I MENTION HOW YOU THROW UP EVERY MEAL YOU EAT / DO I NEED TO BRING UP ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU'VE USED / OR YOUR SEVEN DAYS A WEEK ALCOHOL ABUSE / YOU'RE NOT AS HIGH AND MIGHTY AS YOU MAY HAVE THOUGHT YOU WERE / SO QUIT ACTING AS IF YOU'RE SO FUCKING PURE


I WON'T STAY DIPLOMATIC ANY LONGER / I'M OVER KEEPING THE PEACE / SOME BRIDGES NEED TO BE SET ON FIRE / SOME TIMES CALL FOR BRUTAL HONESTY


WE HAVE SIMILAR FLUID THAT PUMPS BENEATH THE SKIN / BUT THE KIDS STRETCHED TO MEN AND THE MIX BECAME THIN / SO I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT A BRANCH ON THE TREE / UNLESS THE TWIG THAT IT MEETS LEADS DIRECTLY TO THIS LEAF / SO YOU CAN BE CHIEF OF THAT DIRTY LITTLE VILLAGE / OF WITCHES AND ZOMBIES THAT HAD TO BE THE VILLAINS / I'M COOKING UP A LITTLE "WHAT THE FUCK" FOR YOU TODAY / 'CUZ YOU BOUGHT A MEAL THAT I GOT FOR FREE AND THREW AWAY


A VENOMOUS TONGUE AND A POISON PEN / CRITICAL SPIT DRIPPING FROM MY LIPS / A CALCULATING MIND AND A DEXTROUS HAND / BRUTAL HONESTY AT MY FINGERTIPS

A VENOMOUS TONGUE AND A POISON PEN / CRITICAL SPIT DRIPPING FROM MY LIPS / A CALCULATING MIND AND A DEXTROUS HAND / BRUTAL HONESTY AT MY FINGERTIPS


I WON'T HOLD MY TONGUE ANY LONGER / I'M DONE SUGAR-COATING THE TRUTH / YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO THE MIRROR / THEN TELL ME HOW IS THE VIEW

I WON'T STAY DIPLOMATIC ANY LONGER / I'M OVER KEEPING THE PEACE / SOME BRIDGES NEED TO BE SET ON FIRE / SOME TIMES CALL FOR BRUTAL HONESTY
