🎸🔥 “Hooked on the Lie” (Rock / Blues / Southern Gospel) [Verse 1] It didn’t look like chains at first Just a taste, just a thirst Little spark in a darkened room Didn’t know it would seal my doom Shiny bait on a hidden line Looked like pleasure, felt like mine Didn’t see what was underneath Steel in the smile, death in the teeth [Pre-Chorus] It called my name like it knew my soul Every weakness, every hole 🔥 [Chorus] HOOKED ON THE LIE—I took the bite Thought it was freedom, turned to a fight Pulled me deep where I couldn’t breathe What I loved… started owning me HOOKED ON THE LIE—couldn’t break free Till mercy came and rescued me What once had me under its spin Lost its power when grace stepped in [Verse 2] Lust whispered soft, envy stared Greed kept sayin’, “No one cares” Pride stood tall, wrath burned hot Every sin said, “Take your shot” Sloth said, “Wait,” lies said, “Hide” Selfish voice kept me justified Didn’t feel like chains at all… Till I tried to walk and couldn’t crawl [Pre-Chorus] Every hook was dressed like gold But it dragged me down below 🔥 [Chorus] HOOKED ON THE LIE—I took the bait Didn’t see it seal my fate Every step that I called my own Was another pull on that line I’d known HOOKED ON THE LIE—eyes went blind Till truth came cuttin’ through my mind What I thought I could control Had a grip down in my soul 🎷 [Bridge] (Blues breakdown — harmonica crying, slow burn guitar) Yeah, sin don’t show you the hook… It shows you the shine Don’t tell you the cost… Just says “this is mine” But every bite has a hidden end Every road that breaks won’t bend Till a hand from heaven pulls you out And breaks the lie you lived about [Verse 3] Then I heard a different call Didn’t sound like sin at all No disguise, no hidden game Just truth speakin’ through the pain “Come out clean, drop the line You were never meant for this design” And right there where I hit my low… Grace stepped in and said, “Let go” 🔥 [Final Chorus] NO MORE HOOKS—I’m finally free Chains fell off that once held me What once called me by my name Lost its grip in Jesus’ name NO MORE HOOKS—I see it clear Truth is louder than my fear What once pulled me deep in sin Can’t hold me now—I’m free within ⚡ [Outro] It ain’t the bait—it’s what’s below… And every heart’s got a line it knows… But there’s a hand stronger than the fall… And grace is greater… than it all
