Hiding Secrets in Lies

[intro]
[hypnotic instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Promises made with fingers crossed,
Morality’s cloak, truth is lost,
In power’s game, we often stray,
Silent whispers, guide our way.

[Chorus]
Hiding secrets, masking truth,
Integrity fades, lost in youth,
Behind the smiles, shadows play,
In silent darkness, lies hold sway.

[Verse 2]
Conscience muted, driven by need,
Truth sacrificed, shadows feed,
We craft tales, reshape the past,
In mirror’s gaze, the die is cast.

[Chorus]
Hiding secrets, masking truth,
Integrity fades, lost in youth,
Behind the smiles, shadows play,
In silent darkness, lies hold sway.

[Bridge]
Not in actions, nor what they say,
But in the silence, truth fades away,
Whispers like ghosts, consume the light,
Never sharing, hidden in sight.

[Verse 3]
Feeding on tales, repeat the refrain,
Silent in thought, masking the pain,
Void in the heart, shadows expand,
In deceit’s dance, we take our stand.

[Chorus]
Hiding secrets, masking truth,
Integrity fades, lost in youth,
Behind the smiles, shadows play,
In silent darkness, lies hold sway.

[Outro]
When will we shed this hollow guise?
Let true voices rise, clear and wise,
For within, despite the guise,
We tire of hiding secrets in lies.
