Truth Under Static

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I seen the screen glow on a face in the crowd thumbs move faster than thought everybody talkin' loud They sell you a mirror then they charge you to breathe wrap fear in a headline and call it your need I read the fine print in the back of the feed they turn a whole country into a private disease Keep the numbers spinning keep the windows shut if you ask who made it they say "don't ask us" [Pre-Chorus] But I hear something under all that noise Small and steady like a human voice It don't beg it don't flex it just stands there and says what's next [Chorus] Truth, don't hide Truth, come through When they sell me a lie I still look for you Truth, stay near Truth, stay low Quiet as a heartbeat where the real things go [Verse 2] You can map the chaos put a logo on pain teach a kid to scroll but not to name the stain They got us chasing clout like it's water in drought then the same hands clap when we burn ourselves out I seen friends go quiet in a room full of noise every joke got sharpened every smile got poise But behind all the posing there's a crack in the wall and that crack is the only place the truth can call [Pre-Chorus] And I hear something under all that noise Small and steady like a human voice It don't beg it don't flex it just stands there and says what's next [Chorus] Truth, don't hide Truth, come through When they sell me a lie I still look for you Truth, stay near Truth, stay low Quiet as a heartbeat where the real things go [Bridge] [Female Vocal] If you want me I'm still here Under the glitter under the fear [Male Rap] No crown on the surface just dust in the seams I been learning the hard way what a real life means Not every loud mouth got a soul in the room Not every bright promise comes before the bloom [Final Chorus] Truth, don't hide Truth, come through When they sell me a lie I still look for you Truth, stay near Truth, stay low Quiet as a heartbeat where the real things go Truth, don't hide Truth, come through When the whole world bends I still stand with you
