[Intro] [syncopated clean electric guitar riff, four-on-the-floor kick drum] [Verse 1] [male vocals, mid-range] High eyes in the back of my head Counting every word you said Screen glows blue 3:00 AM I keep scrolling but I can't find me in it Making shapes out of static thin spaces With a panic of a photograph I can't believe Got a version of myself I stole from thieves [Pre-Chorus] [bass guitar enters, driving eighth notes] And I wonder if the signal's real Or just something I can feel [Chorus] [full band, bright synth pads] Treason, oh the truth Treason, oh the truth We built a fortress out of doubt Break my bricks and shut it out Treason, oh the truth Treason, oh the truth [Instrumental Break] [staccato synth lead, driving percussion] [Verse 2] [drums drop to kick and snare only] Woke up to a headline I didn't write Somebody's version of a borrowed night I got a question tattooed on my tongue But I swallow it before it's sung And the weather says it's gonna change But the forecast rearranged Every hour a new disguise Every answer a compromise [Pre-Chorus] [bass slides up] And I wonder if the quiet's real Or just the sound of wheels [Chorus] [full band] Treason, oh the truth Treason, oh the truth We built a fortress out of doubt Break my bricks and shut it out Treason, oh the truth Treason, oh the truth [Bridge] [half-time feel, filtered synth pads] Tell me what I'm supposed to keep Tell me what I'm taught to meet When the mirror shows me something else In a foreign language to myself [Chorus] [full band, high energy] Treason, oh the truth Treason, oh the truth We built a fortress out of doubt Break my bricks and shut it out Treason, oh the truth Treason, oh the truth [Outro] [guitar riff fades, kick drum continues] Treason, oh the truth (Treason) (Treason) [final synth swell]
