Verse 1 How far can you stretch the truth Before the fibers fray? You thin it out with careful hands Till night dissolves to gray Drop by drop you dilute the dark Till black and white both fade Now the sky is ash above us And the sea’s the same dull shade Pre-Chorus Half-truths dividing softly Like cells beneath the glass Quiet little colonies Of stories meant to pass They multiply in silence Every whisper slightly skewed A culture grown in shadow Fed on something almost true ⸻ Chorus Gray skies Gray seas Gray eyes Gray me Every word you give me Slides between belief Still there’s a single grain of truth In everything you say And that’s the shard of light That makes me look your way I hear it I feel it Through the signal and the wire God help me — I love you, beautiful liar ⸻ Verse 2 You seed the air with fragments Let the narrative expand Each version slightly altered Till no one understands Dilution after dilution Till certainty expires A spectrum slowly drowning In a bath of softer lies You’ll probably lie with your dying wish Soft voice, angelic tone But somewhere in the static There’s a frequency I know ⸻ Pre-Chorus Signal buried carefully In oceans made of noise But something in your chaos Still cuts through the void ⸻ Chorus Gray skies Gray seas Gray eyes Gray me Every truth between us Losing density Still there’s a single grain of truth In everything you say And that’s the spark of gravity That pulls me your way I hear it I feel it Through every crooked wire God help me — I love you, beautiful liar ⸻ Bridge Petri dish confessions Blooming in the dark Tiny living fictions Growing round a spark And I keep leaning closer Just to see it clearer Searching for the atom Of the truth inside the mirror
