[Verse] An event hits the ground like a crack in the day, Before you can blink they decide what to say. A meaning arrives before dust even falls, A headline already explaining it all. You’re handed a lens that decides what you see, A border around what the truth ought to be. The picture looks clear in the shape that they gave, But something important was cut from the frame. [Verse] A detail is glowing like light in the night, Ten others are fading outside of the sight. The question you ask is already designed, The angle selected to guide your mind. You think you are choosing the way that you view, But someone has chosen the view for you. The story feels solid, the meaning the same, Because all of the world fits inside of the frame. [Chorus] This frame decides what the world will show, What questions survive and what truths never grow. But outside the borders the real world remains, Wider than lenses and tighter than chains. The frame may direct what the watchers can see, But truth still lives free, lives free, lives free. [Verse] A phrase becomes law in the echoing room, A symbol becomes the shape of the truth. The meaning is packaged before it is read, A thought already living inside of your head. The crowd starts repeating the words that they hear, Because every reflection confirms what is near. But if one small piece slips outside of the claim, The story begins breaking out of the frame. [Verse] The quiet observer begins to detect The borders that guide every thought to project. The missing perspective, the angles denied, The pieces of truth quietly set to the side. And once you can notice the limits they draw, The lens starts to weaken the hold that it saw. Because meaning grows wider than anyone’s claim, And reality lives past the frame. [Chorus] This frame decides what the world will show, What questions survive and what truths never grow. But outside the borders the real world remains, Wider than lenses and tighter than chains. The frame may direct what the watchers can see, But truth still lives free, lives free, lives free. [Outro] When the borders dissolve and the lens falls away, The world starts to breathe in a different way. Beyond every limit the storytellers claim, Reality waits past the frame.
