Lies on paper

Lyrics

Hook – heavy, haunting, catchy] Wake up, they been writin’ history in the dark (wake up) Ink dry, but the truth still leave a mark (leave a mark) They say trust ‘em, but I question every spark If it’s real, why it always fall apart? Wake up, yeah the paper talkin’ loud (talkin’ loud) But lies echo louder in the crowd (in the crowd) Truth buried deep, can’t be found Till you dig it up yourself from the ground [Verse 1] Flippin’ through the pages like a ghost from the past Typewriter confessions that they hoped wouldn’t last Cold ink drippin’, man, it feel like a warning Said “synthetic life”… now it’s real every morning They was talkin’ ‘bout a future we ain’t even understand Playin’ God in a lab, now it’s outta their hands Said ten years, now we decades deep Still askin’ questions they don’t wanna keep Money talk loud, truth stay quiet Power in the shadows where the wolves stay silent They say science, but I hear ambition Lines get blurred when you chase that vision [Hook] Wake up, they been writin’ history in the dark (wake up) Ink dry, but the truth still leave a mark (leave a mark) They say trust ‘em, but I question every spark If it’s real, why it always fall apart? [Verse 2] CDC lines and the headlines clean But the fine print hid between what they mean Programs runnin’ while the public asleep Secrets don’t die, they just buried deep They call it progress, I call it control When you play with life, man, you play with the soul Ain’t sayin’ facts, I’m just readin’ the script But it’s hard not to feel like we all gettin’ clipped They divide, they distract, keep the noise real loud While the truth gettin’ lost in a digital crowd Everybody fightin’, nobody ask why Too busy pickin’ sides while the answers slide by [Bridge – slower, emotional] Maybe it’s real… maybe it’s lies… Maybe it’s fear livin’ in our minds… But one thing I know, and I’ll say it proud… If you don’t think for yourself, you just lost in the crowd [Hook – bigger, anthem style] Wake up, they been writin’ history in the dark (wake up) Ink dry, but the truth still leave a mark (leave a mark) They say trust ‘em, but I question every spark If it’s real, why it always fall apart? [Outro – echoing, fading] Wake up… Read between the lines… Not everything printed… is truth…
