[Intro] [radio static, distant voices, low synth drone] Every channel... Every screen... Someone tells us... What to dream... --- [Verse 1] Paint another perfect story, hide the cracks beneath the gold. Truth gets polished for convenience, every headline bought and sold. Raise your banner, pick a side. Ask no questions, fall in line. Every answer comes pre-approved. Every thought already used. --- [Pre-Chorus] Close your eyes... Repeat the words... Smile beneath the camera lights. If you whisper... If you doubt... They'll find a way to drown you out. --- [Chorus] We're living inside a kingdom of mirrors, where silence is sold as keeping the peace. Rewrite tomorrow, erase yesterday. Freedom survives only if we stay. Static hearts... Plastic minds... Searching for what they left behind. --- [Verse 2] Every lesson has its limits. Every question needs permission. Words are measured. Feelings scored. Truth gets filtered through closed doors. Fear wears a friendly face. Chains are hidden inside grace. --- [Bridge] [music falls to piano and synth pulse] Call it safety. Call it care. Call it progress everywhere. Paint the cage a brighter blue. Soon they'll say it was built for you. --- [Build] One more warning... One more law... One more reason not to talk. One more headline... One more lie... One more reason not to ask why. --- [Final Chorus] We're living inside a kingdom of mirrors, where silence is sold as keeping the peace. No king... No throne... Only unseen hands that call this home. Static hearts... Plastic minds... Will we remember how to fight? --- [Outro] [radio static slowly fades] Turn the volume down... Can you still... hear yourself?
