Lyrics:

“Truce” was secretly known as “The Laundry Song” by the Jars of Clay band members.
The reason: it was written in a laundry room in the middle of Kansas and just started writing while waiting for their laundry.
Faultless in the eyes that I could never open wide enough to see me through
Much to my surprise it never orbits 'round the things you should hold me to

I stand here wondering
I'm waiting

My ear is twisted in all the thoughts
A glimpse of truce just because
It's always almost never close
I close my eyes, hide the distance

Enchanted by the face of peace and when it turns to sunken eyes and waterfalls
Unsatisfied with simple things entangled in the cords, I can't take any calls

I stand here wondering
I'm waiting

My ear is twisted in all the thoughts
A glimpse of truce just because
It's always almost never close
I close my eyes, hide the distance

Waiting around for some kind of peace
Hoping you find me in my need

My ear is twisted
A glimpse of truce just because

My ear is twisted in all the thoughts
A glimpse of truce just because
It's always almost never close
I close my eyes, hide the distance
