Underground Truth

[Intro - glitch guitar riff swells, low bass drone, falsetto breathy hum] [Verse 1 - whispered falsetto, brittle] Bring the shovel, let’s tear the ground apart No witnesses to see us start Excavate the secrets buried deep The sun has died, its light too weak As the moon casts its hypnotic spell Let’s unearth what he’d never tell I suspect your lover sins at night While you dream, while you trust his sight [Chorus - falsetto strained, distorted guitars rising] The one you worship trades his flesh for strangers’ touch Reveling in shadows, using wit to hide so much Corrupting every fiber while you sleep so peacefully ’Cause he’s got you mesmerized by his sweet duplicity [Glitch interlude - guitars stutter, bass pulses low, delay feedback] [Verse 2 - falsetto more defiant, with tremolo picking textures] Using his carved chest, his perfect form Just to keep you safe and warm The metal piercing through his skin makes you weak Tattoos spelling out the lies he speaks Can disguise the moral rot beneath The smile that hides his sharpened teeth You better surface from this trance Before you lose your final chance [Chorus - falsetto cracks, layered harmonies, shoegaze wall surges] The one you worship trades his flesh for strangers’ touch Reveling in shadows, using wit to hide so much Corrupting every fiber while you sleep so peacefully ’Cause he’s got you mesmerized by his sweet duplicity [Bridge - glitch swarm, vocal fragile and exposed] Before you’re hollowed out inside Before the floodgates open wide And drown us in his web of shame You’ll never be the same The underground is calling him Where conscience grows so thin And you’re just another casualty Of his twisted symphony [Final Chorus - falsetto piercing, distortion overwhelms, chaos building] Wake before you’re sacrificed To his altar made of vice The monster’s been so nice But now you see the price Dig it up, dig it up The underground truth Dig the monster up [Outro - glitch decay, fading distorted drones, falsetto echoes: “underground truth…”]
