[Intro]
[Instrumental: Funky disco bassline slowed and detuned]
[Instrumental: Distorted sludge guitar scraping underneath]
[Instrumental: Heavy kick and muted hi-hats, looping]
[Verse 1]
[Voice: Lead, half-spoken]
I don’t watch the screens anymore
I don’t trust the words they pour
Anchors lying with a smile
Same old script, different pile
[Break]
[Instrumental: Extended groove]
[Instrumental: Bass repeats one note, guitar feedback swells]
[Instrumental: Drums drop out and slam back in]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Voice: Low chant]
They sell it clean
They sell it neat
But I know better
I know the trick
[Chorus]
[Hook]
[Catchy Hook]
[Voice: Lead, hypnotic]
I don’t believe what they say
But I believe what I find
Every link another sign
Every shadow speaks my mind
[Break]
[Instrumental: Long sludge riff, disco bass still pumping]
[Instrumental: Wah guitar drowned in distortion]
[Instrumental: Drums lock into mechanical loop]
[Verse 2]
[Voice: Lead]
Late at night, glowing screen
Thread by thread, in-between
Anonymous prophets preach
Every truth just out of reach
[Interlude]
[Instrumental: Beats only, filtered and compressed]
[Instrumental: Sub-bass pulsing like a heartbeat]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Voice: Echoed]
They tell me think
They tell me wait
But the truth won’t circulate
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
[Voice: Lead + distant backing]
I don’t believe what they say
But I believe what I read
Every warning every thread
Feels like proof inside my head
[Break]
[Percussion Break]
[Instrumental: Drum loop stretched and distorted]
[Instrumental: Guitar noise scraping rhythmically]
[Bridge]
[Voice: Spoken, monotone]
Everyone’s lying
Except the ones who agree with me
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental: Long, oppressive section]
[Instrumental: Sludge riffs slow and repetitive]
[Instrumental: Disco bass never stops]
[Instrumental: Noise layers rise and fall]
[Verse 3]
[Voice: Lead]
I reject the polished lie
But I swallow something worse
Trading doubt for certainty
Trading sense for something cursed
[Chorus]
[Catchy Hook]
[Voice: Lead, strained]
I don’t believe what they say
But I believe every claim
If it sounds forbidden enough
It must be playing the real game
[Big Finish]
[Instrumental: All elements at maximum weight]
[Instrumental: Bass, drums, and guitar locked in one brutal loop]
[Outro]
[Voice: Lead, fading]
I don’t trust the news…
I trust the noise…
[Fade Out]
[Instrumental: Groove collapses into distortion and hum]
