[Intro – Low bowed cello, distant thunder, slow tribal drums] [Female Vocal – Low, smoky, almost whispered] Funny how the truth gets quiet When the lies are screaming loud Funny how the ones who judge you Always hide behind a crowd [Verse 1 – Deep, raspy female contralto, slow stomping groove] I’ve seen saints with dirty fingers Seen the wicked dressed in white Watched the honest beg for mercy While the guilty slept at night I’ve seen promises turn to ashes Heard forever turn to never Watched the ones who swore they’d stay Disappear in stormy weather [Pre-Chorus – Low strings rising, drums growing heavier] You can paint the cracks with gold You can dress a lie in truth But the mirror doesn’t flatter When it’s staring back at you [Chorus – Massive distorted guitars, thunderous toms, fierce female belt] REALITY CHECK! Take a good look around All those castles made of promises Are crumbling to the ground REALITY CHECK! Hear the hammer hit the stone When the world stops telling pretty lies You’re standing there alone No crown, no throne No borrowed respect Just you and the truth— REALITY CHECK! [Instrumental Break – Heavy stomping guitars, tribal toms, haunting cello] [Verse 2 – Restrained, bitter, conversational female vocal] Everybody wants forgiveness Nobody wants the blame Everybody loves the sunshine Till they’re standing in the rain Everybody’s got an answer For a life they’ve never lived Everybody wants compassion But they’ve got none left to give I’ve heard wisdom from a fool Seen a coward call it pride Watched a thousand pointing fingers While the truth stood off to the side [Pre-Chorus – Rising strings, raw vocal intensity] You can run from every shadow You can swear you’re always right But the truth don’t need permission To come knocking in the night [Chorus – Full cinematic impact, layered female harmonies] REALITY CHECK! Take a good look around All those castles made of promises Are crumbling to the ground REALITY CHECK! Hear the hammer hit the stone When the world stops telling pretty lies You’re standing there alone No crown, no throne No borrowed respect Just you and the truth— REALITY CHECK! [Bridge – Instruments drop to a single low cello drone] [Female Vocal – Intimate, cold whisper] Strip away the pretty picture Strip away the painted smile Strip away the grand excuses You’ve been hiding behind awhile [Long Pause] [Female Vocal – Low, cold, deliberate] When there’s nobody left to blame… Will you still look the same? [Build – Thunderous toms return one by one, bowed strings climbing] No more running No more games No more hiding Behind somebody else’s name! [Final Chorus – Explosive guitars, massive drums, powerful raspy female vocals] REALITY CHECK! Let the whole damn kingdom fall! Let the truth come crashing through Every crack in every wall! REALITY CHECK! Let the thunder shake the stone! When the dust has finally settled What you are is what you’ve shown! No crown, no throne No borrowed respect No more lies to protect! REALITY CHECK! [Outro – Guitars abruptly cut, one deep drumbeat, fading cello] [Female Vocal – Quiet, smoky, almost spoken] You can fool the whole damn world… [Pause] But the mirror knows. [Silence] Reality check. ***Lyrics by: touché*** ©️2026
