Verse 1
In a world of echoes, can we hear the call,
Truth gets lost in the messy noise,
Whispers of comfort, they call your name,
But they’re just shadows, playing a game.

Chorus
Are we punished by the truth, comforted by the lies?
Caught in the middle where the realness dies.
Shining the light in a world so blind,
But the truth is heavy, and the lies are kind.

Verse 2
We build our walls with words that soothe,
Cover the cracks where the pain breaks through,
But in the silence, when the echoes fade,
The truth remains, though we’re afraid.

Chorus
Are we punished by the truth, comforted by the lies?
Caught in the middle where the realness dies.
Shining the light in a world so blind,
But the truth is heavy, and the lies are kind.

Bridge
Distorted reality, we dance with our fears,
Callous to the wrecking that’s been growing for years.
Deceiving tenderness, it tightens the chains,
But deep down we know, it’s the truth that remains.

Chorus
Are we punished by the truth, comforted by the lies?
Caught in the middle where the realness dies.
Shining the light in a world so blind,
But the truth is heavy, and the lies are kind.

Outro
Turn the table, lead the lies to the truth
No more hiding from momentary cost.
The truth might burn, but it lights the way,
Through the darkness, to the light forever.
