The Truth is a Lie

# The Truth Is a Lie [Intro – Sparse Piano / Distorted Vocal Fragments] Say it again. Say it again. Say it till the room agrees. Who's asking questions? Who needs proof? The truth is a lie When the lie sounds good to you. [Verse 1 – Clipped Rhythmic Vocals] Start with a whisper, give it a name Pass it around till it catches a flame Change a detail, adjust the frame Tell it tomorrow, say it again Put on a suit, give it a stage Print it in black on a digital page Say it with confidence, look them in the eye People start nodding when the facts don't apply One voice becomes ten Ten turn into a crowd The louder it gets The harder truth speaks out [Pre-Chorus – Rising Percussion] Repeat it. Release it. Give them a reason to believe it. Deny it. Defend it. Keep it moving till the end. [Chorus – Explosive Electronic Pop] The truth is a lie When the lie gets repeated The truth is a lie When the facts get deleted Say it till they know it Say it till they buy Say it till the question becomes Who are you to ask why? The truth is a lie The truth is a lie But saying it again Doesn't make it right. [Verse 2 – Rapid-Fire Delivery] Build a little wall around the evidence Call every question an offense Find your people, draw the line Make disagreement look like a crime Pick out a villain, point to the door Give them a reason not to ask anymore If the numbers don't fit, rearrange the display If the facts come knocking, send them away And somewhere in the middle Of the noise and the spin People stop asking Where the story begins They remember the headline They forget what was true And the lie gets a crown While the facts wait in queue [Pre-Chorus – Bass Pulse / Group Vocals] Repeat it. Release it. Give them a reason to believe it. Deny it. Defend it. Who will question it
