Intro (spoken / distant) He was screaming again We didn’t run Verse 1 (tight, fast) He learned how to panic before he learned restraint Every warning exaggerated, every fear fake We heard “wolf” like a broken alarm Same sharp voice, same false harm He’d light the match, then point at smoke Say the sky was falling, swear it was close So when he ran through the street that night We stayed put — yeah, we were right Pre-Drop You don’t flinch at static You don’t jump at noise DROP / CHORUS He cried WOLF — nobody moved Too many lies, nothing to prove Same red face, same burned-out sound So we let the silence hold us down He cried WOLF — we turned away Learned disbelief the hard way Now there’s blood where the truth should be And ghosts where people used to be Verse 2 (half-time → build) He begged, he pointed, he swore it was real But we’d heard it all, felt nothing to feel When fear gets sold like entertainment You stop treating it like a statement Then the screams changed tone Then the night cut deep By the time we knew They were already gone Pre-Drop 2 He broke the meaning of the sound Now the cost is written on the ground DROP / CHORUS He cried WOLF — bodies cold Truth don’t land when it’s overused We didn’t run, we didn’t doubt We just didn’t listen this time around He cried WOLF — and we stood still Trust was dead before the kill He taught us not to hear that call Now we hear it in it all Bridge (minimal, spoken) He keeps saying “This one was real” So were the consequences Final Drop (harder, relentless) He cried WOLF — and people died That’s the weight of every lie You dull the blade, you crack the bell Then act shocked when no one can tell He cried WOLF — now he’s alone Yelling truth in a ruined tone If you murder trust long enough Don’t blame us when we call your bluff Outro (echoed, empty) We didn’t kill them We just stopped believing him
