Red String Lullaby (Empirical Shuffle)

[Verse 1] 9/11—smoke, then a script, then “move on” Ask too hard and you’re “crazy,” you’re “wrong” Epstein island—names, flights, then it fades Headlines blink, cameras “fail,” files get caged Black ink paragraphs, whole pages gone Same calm voice saying “nothing’s wrong” If it’s clean, why the lockbox? Why the flinch when the light pops? [Chorus] Red string lullaby, hush-hush proof Truth gets filtered through a bulletproof booth They drip the facts like rationed food Then act surprised when we don’t approve I’m not saying I know it all I’m saying they don’t tell it all [Verse 2] January 6th—two movies, same frame One says “riot,” one says “patriot” name Short clips weaponized for the scroll While the full tape stays under control Briefing room smiles, talking points on rails “National security” shuts down trails Selective leaks, controlled noise Keep us loud, keep them poised [Bridge] (spoken) Evidence matters. (spoken) Victims matter. (spoken) But “official” ain’t the same as “true.” [Final Chorus] Red string lullaby, hush-hush proof Truth gets filtered through a bulletproof booth They drip the facts like rationed food Then act surprised when we don’t approve I’m not saying I know it all I’m saying they don’t tell it all [Outro] (spoken) Keep asking. (spoken) Keep receipts.
