[Haunting Intro- Spectral chords] [Instrumental] [Verse] I have a confession You see, I been stressin The truth keeps on stretchin' Hidden hands keep on sketchin' The path in the wrong direction With a hint of superior inflection While they laugh at the ones they keep guessin' And they preach like they reach students, taking a lesson The lesson gets lost in all of the gloss I reckon it's tossed then dashed on the rocks What's dashed then becomes an injection Through repetitious, guided ingestion It festers and spreads, unfettered, yet bled Of the letters that red, a missing deception So many people make statements, they're polished yet vacant, manufactured and tainted So back to that confession It puzzles me, you're listening, to wicked fiends, with crooked schemes, and selfish dreams, yet you repeat, their utterings Instead of asking questions [Chorus] Why you echo what they’re sayin’, when the truth is right there frayin’? Why you trust the ones who’re playin’, when your own mind keeps on prayin’ for a question worth relayin’? [Bridge] I see the script you’re holdin’, the lines already chosen, the cadence pre‑composed and the meaning left unspoken. But silence isn’t golden when the narrative is stolen — so break the spell you’re being pulled in, and ask who keeps it frozen. [Solo] [Final Chorus] Why you echo what they’re sayin’, when the truth is right there frayin’? Why you trust the ones who keep playin’, when your own mind keeps on prayin’ for a question worth relayin’? [Build] But the truth keeps on evadin', the image they're Paradin' Some say sieg heil, Some say hail Satan, They say it in the shadows While they ramble through the banquet Feign shame and yet it's shallow And get to write a blank check For that which strips us naked It's your right to ask a question, Don't you let em take it [Solo] [Outro] Why you echo what they’re sayin’, when the truth is right there frayin’? Why you trust the ones who keep playin’, when your own mind keeps on prayin’ for a question worth relayin’? But the truth keeps on evadin', the image they're Paradin' Some say sieg heil, Some say hail Satan, They say it in the shadows [End]
