TTT'S Paper Trail Crown

[Verse 1] He wore the badge like a key And slipped through every door Old hands on a borrowed screen Typing names he swore to guard One private face, one secret file Pulled from the public line A favor dressed up as a task Then buried in the fine print [Pre-Chorus] I saw the cursor dance I saw the records bend What he called duty Was a door for a friend [Chorus] Hands off the database Hands off the private life You don't get to turn a name Into your own damn price Hands off the database We see the paper trail glow What you took in silence We’re gonna let it show [Verse 2] The office clock kept bleeding time Through coffee rings and lies Every query left a scar In a room that never cried He knew the codes, he knew the locks He knew who’d never ask But every line he crossed that night Came back in the glass [Pre-Chorus] I hear the warning tone Behind the polished grin You can't call it law When you feed on where we've been [Chorus] Hands off the database Hands off the private life You don't get to turn a name Into your own damn price Hands off the database We see the paper trail glow What you took in silence We’re gonna let it show [Bridge] Now the hallway goes cold When the truth starts to climb One old rank, one bad reach And the whole thing breaks in time Say his name in the light Let the record breathe No more favors in the dark No more ghosted relief [Final Chorus] Hands off the database Hands off the private life You don't get to turn a name Into your own damn price Hands off the database We see the paper trail glow What you took in silence We’re gonna let it show Hands off the database Hands off the database
