# BENEATH THE BEAUTIFUL LIES **JACK SAINT** [Spoken Intro] They told us everything was beautiful... They never showed us what was underneath. [Verse 1] I walked beneath a painted heaven Where every angel wore a mask They sold salvation by the hour And never told us what it cost I heard the truth beneath the pavement Like thunder underneath the stone A thousand voices in the darkness Screaming we were never home [Verse 2] I wore the crown they made of silver I kissed the hands that held the chains I watched the mirrors turn to ashes While they were dancing in the flames They built a kingdom out of silence And called the emptiness divine But every crack beneath the surface Was showing what they tried to hide [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear it breaking? Can you feel the ground? Every wall is shaking When the truth comes crashing down [Chorus] BENEATH THE BEAUTIFUL LIES! There's a fire they can't bury There's a truth they can't disguise We were born beneath the shadows But we learned to recognize Every promise made of ashes Every heaven built on cries We are tearing down the silence BENEATH THE BEAUTIFUL LIES! [Verse 3] They wrote the rules upon the water Then blamed the waves for washing through They made a prison out of kindness And painted every window blue I watched the innocent surrender To every word they couldn't prove But there's a storm behind the curtain And now the whole damn world's gonna move [Verse 4] I won't be quiet for their comfort I won't be grateful for the cage I found a voice beneath the wreckage And carved my name across the page Let every monument come falling Let every golden idol rust There's something beautiful in breaking When all that's left is honest dust [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear it breaking? Can you feel the ground? Every wall is shaking When the truth comes crashing down [Chorus] BENEATH THE BEAUTIFUL LIES! There's a fire they can't bury There's a truth they can't disguise We were born beneath the shadows But we learned to recognize Every promise made of ashes Every heaven built on cries We are tearing down the silence BENEATH THE BEAUTIFUL LIES! [Bridge] Look beneath the surface... Tell me what you see. Everything they promised... Was never meant to be. [Breakdown] BREAK THE GLASS! BURN THE CROWN! LET THE WALLS COME FALLING DOWN! NO MORE CHAINS! NO MORE DISGUISE! WE SEE BENEATH THE BEAUTIFUL LIES! [Final Chorus] BENEATH THE BEAUTIFUL LIES! There's a fire they can't bury There's a truth they can't disguise We were born beneath the shadows But we learned to recognize Every promise made of ashes Every heaven built on cries We are tearing down the silence BENEATH THE BEAUTIFUL LIES! [Outro] Beautiful... Isn't it?
