Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the shadow of your lies
A tale of love and demise
A story told of shame and blame
A heart that was forever changed

[VERSE 1]
You preach love, but give damnation
A contradiction in every way
You say faith, but you're living in fear
Paranoia's grip, it's all you hold dear
No premarital eye contact, or you're a whore
Purity shame, to its fullest score
You never gave a damn about me
Because I was a threat to your control

[CHORUS]
Hypocrisy, a heavy weight
You judge and condemn, but can't relate
Love is just a word, a distant claim
But in your heart, it's just a game

[VERSE 2]
My innocent love was turned into a tale
Of how I ruined your son, without fail
You grounded him for cuddling me
He was 21, and you were still controlling his destiny
We were whispering sweet nothings, giggling at nothing
But you saw only sin, and not the love we had

[CHORUS]
Hypocrisy, a heavy weight
You judge and condemn, but can't relate
Love is just a word, a distant claim
But in your heart, it's just a game

[BRIDGE]
Your apparent disregard for your own son
Made it clear, you'd never had loved him
The love and trust, you said you'd provide
But it was all a lie, a manipulative ride

[HOOK]
You wanted me out of his life
Told me I wasn't good enough
Didn't fit your definition, of what a Christian is

[VERSE 3]
We all knew he was innocent, but still
You wouldn't listen, your mind was made up
So how'd he respond, when you asked him to speak?
"Not to you", he said, his voice meek
He didn't have anything to prove
His heart was pure, his love was true

[CHORUS]
Hypocrisy, a heavy weight
You judge and condemn, but can't relate
Love is just a word, a distant claim
But in your heart, it's just a game

[OUTRO]
You go ahead, and live in your lie
Blinded by your own, hypocrisy
But I'll rise above, and let love be my guide
And leave your hatred behind me
