[Verse 1] Truth cracks My careful mask Little tremor Through the glass Name tags peel From my chest Who am I When I’m undressed? Every label Starts to shake All this suffering Sharp as wake Refined by friction Scar and stain I keep changing To stay the same [Chorus] Truth destabilises me ’til the pieces fall apart I lose my borrowed faces Just to find a beating heart Every system built around me Tries to rearrange the facts But love anchors what I am When the structures all collapse (all collapse) [Verse 2] Maps on the wall Lines in red How they told us Where to tread Tiny cages Big ideals Pretty language Rusting steel They bend the mirror Tilted frame Call it order Call it sane But there’s a whisper Deep and small “Something larger Holds it all” [Chorus] Truth destabilises me ’til the pieces fall apart I lose my borrowed faces Just to find a beating heart Every system built around me Tries to rearrange the facts But love anchors what I am When the structures all collapse (yeah) [Bridge] When they choke the honest voices Turn confession into crime Love keeps growing in the fractures Roots through concrete Over time God in silence God in doubt In the questions I shout out [Chorus] Truth destabilises me But it points me through the fall Love emerging from the rubble Like a signal through it all Every system tries to bind it Every pattern rises Breaks Still expression keeps on burning As it tests what each heart makes (as it tests us all)
