Verse 1
Why do some people hear the truth
See it standing in the light
Still they build their walls
Still they run and hide
Fear talks louder than reason
Hope gets buried under doubt
You didn’t lose your sight somehow
You just decided not to look around
Pre-Chorus
Truth don’t knock, it waits inside
Cuts the skin, strips the disguise
If believing costs your pride
You’ll defend the lie
(You’ll defend the lie)
Chorus
Why do some people hear the truth
See the truth, close their minds
Still they close their hearts
Still they choose the night
Why do some people choose the lie
When it’s tearing them inside
They know the truth is real
But they still believe in the lies
Verse 2
Truth don’t promise comfort
It don’t whisper “you’re alright”
It says “change or stay broken”
And some don’t want that fight
Trade their eyes for comfort
Trade courage for disguise
It’s not that they don’t know
They’re just terrified inside
Pre-Chorus
Truth don’t bend, it don’t pretend
It won’t love you like a friend
If the truth takes everything
Would you still let it in?
(Would you let it all in)
Chorus
Why do some people hear the truth
See it shining in their eyes
Still they crown the dark
When the light is close behind
Why do some people choose the lie
When it’s killing them inside
They know the truth is real
But they still believe the lies
Bridge (half-time or breakdown)
Truth demands a death
Not of flesh, but of name
Of the story you rehearsed
Just to dodge the blame
Lies ask nothing
Just “stay the same”
Comfort is a prison
With a prettier name
[Final Chorus biggest]
Why do some people hear the truth
See the truth, turn away
Still they swear it’s everyone else
Still they’re afraid to change
Why do some people choose the lie
Over freedom in their mind
They don’t reject the truth
They reject who they’d be inside
Outro
Truth doesn’t need believers
It survives without applause
Till then the question haunts us all
Why we still believe the lies
Tonenico
