Adjust the Optics

[Intro — spoken] Too visible That’s the signal [Verse 1] Lines in the street, cameras on Tear gas drifting past the lawn People watching in real time Everything caught, nothing confined Two lives lost in a public frame Names attached to what became Not hidden, not contained Seen too clearly to sustain [Pre-Chorus] When it shows When it’s seen Pressure builds On the machine [Chorus] Adjust the optics, keep the flow Same result, just lower the show Not less force, not less reach Just move it out of what you see Adjust the optics, change the view What was loud goes quiet and through If the public line gets crossed Shift the form but not the cost [Verse 2] Polls come back, numbers land Too much seen, too hard to stand Not a rollback, not a stop Just a change in how it drops Pull it back from center stage Spread it out, reduce the gaze No more single point to blame No more moment you can name [Bridge — stripped] Pressure in Form shifts [Break — minimal] Too visible Re-route [Chorus — lift] Adjust the optics, keep the flow Same result, just lower the show Not less force, not less reach Just move it out of what you see [Outro — spoken] Not less Less seen
