Selective Hearing!!! [Intro – glitch static, distant news chatter, heartbeat] (whispered overlapping voices) “breaking news…” “they said…” “it’s not real…” “just ignore it…” [Verse 1 – muted guitar, tense rhythm] Screens glow brighter than the sun Truth gets buried, story spun Pick your side, then close your eyes Comfort lives inside the lies Echo chambers built like walls No one hears the other calls You don’t want the cracks to show So you pretend you didn’t know! [Pre-Chorus – rising tension] Say it louder… drown it out Truth’s inconvenient—twist the doubt [Chorus – explosive, angry melodic] You only hear what you wanna hear You only see what keeps you clear Of everything that shakes your ground So you just tune the truth right out Cognitive dissonance—lullaby Sing it sweet so you don’t ask why If reality don’t fit your view— You bend the world instead of you [Verse 2 – heavier, more aggressive] Facts don’t matter if they sting So you crown yourself the king Of a kingdom made of spin Where truth can’t ever get within Paint it red or paint it blue Doesn’t matter—it’s still you Filtering the world away Till nothing real is left to say [Pre-Chorus – sharper, faster] Close your ears… shut your eyes Feed the fear… monetize [Chorus – bigger, chaotic energy] You only hear what you wanna hear You only see what keeps you clear Of everything that breaks your frame So someone else is always to blame Cognitive dissonance—your shield Truth’s a wound you’ll never feel If reality don’t fit your view— You tear it down… rewrite it new [Bridge – stripped → scream build] (soft, eerie) What if you’re wrong…? What if it’s real…? (silence… then snap) (screamed) WHAT IF THE TRUTH DOESN’T CARE HOW YOU FEEL?! WHAT IF THE LIES ARE THE THINGS YOU DEFEND?! WHAT IF THE STORY YOU LOVE HAS AN END?! [Breakdown – heavy, rhythmic chant] Pick a side—don’t think too deep Stay awake—but stay asleep Hear no evil, see no pain Wash it down, repeat again [Final Chorus – full rage + choir] You only hear what you wanna hear You only see what keeps you clear But truth is knocking at your door— You just don’t listen anymore Cognitive dissonance—divide Truth and ego cannot coincide If reality don’t fit your view— The lie you chose… becomes your truth [Outro – glitch fade, soft voice] (whispered) …maybe it was never about truth… …just comfort…
