World of Deception

[Verse 1] This world is a veil, a painted disguise Truth wears a mask, and comfort tells lies Normal on the surface, hollow inside We chase after dreams where our hearts slowly die [Pre-Chorus] But what is our perception? What shapes our own conception? What do we call reception— Truth or just deception? [Chorus] We live in a world of deception Clothed in normalcy’s reflection We follow worldly direction But where is our true correction? Who do we trust in this intersection? Our only hope… is resurrection Our connection— Is through Christ, the pure perfection [Verse 2] They sell us peace, but it's built on the sand Pleasure and pride with a hidden demand The light of the screen dims the light of the Lamb And truth is dismissed as a foolish old brand [Pre-Chorus] So what is the exception? Is there a clear direction? Where do we find connection— To God and His affection? [Chorus] We live in a world of deception Clothed in normalcy’s reflection We follow worldly direction But where is our true correction? Who do we trust in this intersection? Our only hope… is resurrection Our connection— Is through Christ, the pure perfection [Bridge] Through the blood of the Lamb, we are made whole Jesus, our Savior, Redeemer of souls He bore the shame, the weight of the fall Our bridge to the Father, the answer to all [Tag/Breakdown] Not in perception, but in His Word Not in conception, but what we’ve heard Not in reception from the crowd But in the still small voice, clear and loud [Final Chorus] We rise from a world of deception Into truth and new direction Found in Christ, our resurrection He’s our anchor, our protection Our connection— To the Father’s love and redemption [Outro] This world may lie, but He is true The Lamb who died to make all things new In Him we stand, no more rejection He is the way, our true reflection
