[Intro] Static in the margins Ink screams, mouths don’t listen [Verse 1] Same words, split tongues, ten thousand gates Everyone swears they hear You straight Footnotes sharpened into knives Truth traded down for tribal lines [Chorus] If this is light, why can’t we see? If this is truth, why’s it killing me? I read You plain, I read You slow Still drowning where the answers go [Verse 2] I prayed until my throat went dry Heaven stayed on read, no reply Men speak loud in Your defense Selling fear like it’s common sense [Chorus] If this is love, why does it bruise? If this is freedom, why the noose? Your name’s a banner, raised for war I don’t know what it means anymore [Heavy Slow Breakdown] [Chorus] If this is hope, why does it ache? If this is bread, why do I break? I’m still here, but I’m worn thin Looking for You through all of them [Outro] Same book. Same God. Different knives.
