[Intro]

[Verse]
Choral whispers, low strings weep
A foundation built on sleep
Deliberate riffs, a heavy tread
On secrets that we left unsaid
The gilded cage, a hollow shell
Where comfort sings a siren's spell
We polished lies until they gleamed
And buried every truth we dreamed

[Pre-Chorus]
But cracks appear, a subtle flaw
Against the manufactured law
A fragile peace, about to break
For honesty's own bitter sake

[Chorus]
No one wants the truth, you see
It shatters their security
It questions all they hold so dear
And feeds the root of primal fear
So silence reigns, a false accord
While competence is cast overboard
Accusations fly, a tragic plea
For what will never truly be

[Verse]
The architect of this facade
Has built a world that's self-applaud
Each careful word, a measured lie
Beneath a ever-watchful eye
To speak too clearly is a crime
To challenge is to waste your time
They build their thrones on shifting sand
And banish those who understand

[Pre-Chorus]
The whispers grow, a rising dread
Of all the words we left unsaid
A fragile peace, about to break
For honesty's own bitter sake

[Chorus]
No one wants the truth, you see
It shatters their security
It questions all they hold so dear
And feeds the root of primal fear
So silence reigns, a false accord
While competence is cast overboard
Accusations fly, a tragic plea
For what will never truly be

[Bridge]
Ominous choir, a mournful sound
As reason falls to hollow ground
The strings descend, a funeral dirge
As shadows on the surface surge
Your sharpest insight, your purest aim
Is met with blame, and whispered shame
For in this realm of masked deceit
Disruption tastes like bitter defeat

[Verse]
The ego's pride, the power's hold
A narrative that must stay sold
Competence a threat, a jarring note
To those who wear a borrowed coat
They crave the fog, the hazy gray
Where blame can easily go astray
And clarity, a blinding light
That banishes their darkest night

[Chorus]
No one wants the truth, you see
It shatters their security
It questions all they hold so dear
And feeds the root of primal fear
So silence reigns, a false accord
While competence is cast overboard
Accusations fly, a tragic plea
For what will never truly be

[Outro]
