The Questions

[Intro – Whispered / Distorted] You don’t run from the world… You run from yourself. The noise is just a shield. The silence tells the truth. [Verse 1 – Dark / Controlled Rage] When the room goes quiet, who do you become? Do you meet your shadow or reach for the numb? Do you face that voice or drown it in sound? Do you chase distraction just to not look down? You pray for peace but avoid the fight, Beg for the truth then flinch at the light. Every mask you wear knows it’s borrowed skin, Every lie you protect knows where you’ve been. [Pre-Chorus – Tension Build] If they stripped your faith and your borrowed name, Would you still exist or just feel the shame? When no one’s watching and no one’s near, Do you finally listen to what you fear? [Chorus – Aggressive / Anthemic] Will you ask the questions when it tears you apart? Will you rip out the lies you buried in your heart? Do you want the answers or just the escape? Do you want the truth or a prettier cage? Will you ask the questions when the walls come down? When there’s no one left to keep you bound? [Verse 2 – Darker / More Personal] You kneel to a god you’ve never met, While your own reflection is the threat you forget. You trade your doubt for borrowed peace, Call it salvation, call it release. But deep in your chest there’s a war you hide, You dress up fear and you call it pride. Every rule you follow, every line you repeat, Is a grave for the self you were meant to be. [Bridge – Tribal Chant / Relentless] Who are you? — Who are you? When the lights go out? — Lights go out! Who are you? — Who are you? Without the crowd? — Without the crowd! What do you fear? — What do you fear? What do you know? — What do you know? Say it inside… Say it inside… Say it inside… [Chorus – Full Power / Bigger] Will you ask the questions when it tears you apart? Will you rip out the lies you buried in your heart? Do you want the answers or just the escape? Do you want the truth or a prettier cage? Will you ask the questions when the walls come down? When there’s no one left to keep you bound? [Final Breakdown – Brutal Drop] No savior coming. No voice but your own. No borrowed heaven. No borrowed throne. If you die believing what you never chose, Did you live at all… Or just play a role? [Final Chorus – Last Hit / Scar Line] Will you ask the questions before it’s too late? Before your name is just another grave? Do you want the truth or the lie that’s safe? Do you want to live… Or just behave? [Outro – Whispered / Haunting] The hardest question… Isn’t what you believe. It’s who you are… When no one’s watching.
