Verse 1
They drew the lines before we learned to read
Fed us answers, said “Don’t disagree”
Black and white in a world of gray
Raise your hand, repeat what they say
Static voices in a glowing screen
Selling fear like it’s evergreen
Truth gets buried under loud applause
If you’re not with us, then you’re lost
Pre-Chorus
Same old script, different disguise
They sell the cage, call it paradise
Chorus
They tell me what to think, not why
Paint the ceiling, block the sky
Say it louder till it feels like truth
Cut the wings off all the youth
I’m done swallowing the script they spin
This isn’t faith, it’s discipline
I’m breaking out, I won’t comply
I learned to think, not just align
Verse 2
Cherry-picked facts in a perfect frame
Question the story, they call you insane
Echo chambers built like homes
You’re safe as long as you’re not alone
Red, blue, black, or white
Pick a side, prepare to fight
No room left for “I don’t know”
Just march in time, stay in the row
Pre-Chorus
Truth don’t shout, it doesn’t beg
It stands when lies are overfed
Chorus
They tell me what to think, not why
Paint the ceiling, block the sky
Say it louder till it feels like truth
Cut the wings off all the youth
I’m done swallowing the script they spin
This isn’t faith, it’s discipline
I’m breaking out, I won’t comply
I learned to think, not just align
Bridge
Maybe doubt is where we start
Maybe questions make us smart
If the truth can’t take a hit
Was it ever real to begin with?
Breakdown
Hands up, mouth shut
Fall in line, don’t interrupt
Think fast, think slow
Just don’t think on your own
Final Chorus
They tried to sell me certainty
Wrapped in fake security
But truth don’t fear a second look
It doesn’t need a holy book
I’m tearing pages, rewriting me
Curiosity set me free
No more living on borrowed views
I choose my mind, I choose my truth
