'Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliché' is a 2006 single by Las Vegas post-hardcore band Escape the Fate, from their debut album Dying Is Your Latest Fashion with Ronnie Radke on vocals.

Years later it resurfaced in nostalgia edits and throwback compilations, where its dramatic chorus still signals that specific era of heavy, emotional rock.
