[Verse 1]
They paint the walls so clean
But the cracks still talk
Five hundred years in the floorboards
And they call that quiet
Names under old stone
Bones under fresh flags
You can hide the smoke
But the ash still rises
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who gets seen
Tell me who gets sworn in
Tell me who gets erased
When the cameras turn
[Chorus]
Hidden in the house
Hidden in the house
You can’t bury the truth
Hidden in the house (hidden in the house)
Hidden in the house
Hidden in the house
Stolen land still speaks
Hidden in the house (hidden in the house)
[Verse 2]
They sold the poison as gold
Then took the ground by force
Rivers named for kings
While the first people bled
I see the paper trails
I hear the slammed shut doors
History don’t vanish
It just changes clothes
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who gets taught
Tell me who gets blamed
Tell me whose pain gets framed
As a footnote page
[Chorus]
Hidden in the house
Hidden in the house
You can’t bury the truth
Hidden in the house (hidden in the house)
Hidden in the house
Hidden in the house
Stolen land still speaks
Hidden in the house (hidden in the house)
[Bridge]
Open up the records
Open up the graves
Every locked confession
Still knows our names
[Chorus]
Hidden in the house
Hidden in the house
You can’t bury the truth
Hidden in the house (hidden in the house)
Hidden in the house
Hidden in the house
Stolen land still speaks
Hidden in the house (hidden in the house)
