Some Truths Are Harder to Swallow

V1:
[Chorus]
Some truths are harder to swallow
Some truths are harder to swallow
Some lies linger longer, sinking deeper in the hollow

[Verse 1]
As history whispers in a mirror
Spinning tales, frail and stale

[Verse 2]
We’re tricked, tied to delusion,
Truth’s too tough to taste tonight
We cling to confusion
'Cause facing fraud is a bitter fight

[Pre-Chorus]
Some truths are harder to swallow
Some truths are harder to swallow
The deeper the con, the harder it is to follow

[Verse 3]
I say,
(As time’s cruel history repeats us)
Some lies are swallowed whole,
Some truths cut deeper than you’d ever know

[Bridge]
Once you hand your trust to a trickster
It’s a long road back to where you began
We dodge the mirror, dodge the whispers
Afraid to admit we've been sold the scam

[Final Chorus]
Some truths are harder to swallow
Some truths are harder to swallow
Some lies last longer, digging deeper in the hollow. Chorus:
Some truths are harder to swallow
Some truths are harder to swallow
Some lies linger longer, sinking deeper in the hollow

V2:
[Intro / Chorus]
Some truths are harder to swallow,
Some truths are harder to swallow,
When lies dig holes in tomorrows,
Trolling low like cheap rerun shows.

[Verse 1]
History plays like broken records,
Mad old myths on thrones of discord,
Frail petty stories we’re taught to defend,
Stale tales of facts people like to bend.

[Verse 2]
We’re tied to tricks, sugared illusion,
Sweet-spoken chains of confusion,
Truth tastes too sharp on dulled out tongues,
As crooks howl along their harrowed songs.

[Pre-Chorus]
Some truths are harder to swallow,
Some truths are harder to swallow,
The longer the lies, the deeper we follow,
Down echo roads where hopes lie hollow.

[Chorus]
Some truths are harder to swallow,
Some truths are harder to swallow,
When lies grow roots in tomorrows,
Digging graves with faith gone hollow.

[Verse 3]
Time keeps receipts in unspoken winks,
Proof of deceit that refused to blink,
Some lies go down like honeyed wine,
As truths burn slow like sacred swines.

[Bridge]
We give pride crowns to charming winners,
Let blind kings rule saints and sinners,
But mirrors ache when we speak their name,
As toxic tremors rig the game.

[Break - soft, intimate]
It isn’t fair…
Hopes still matter.
It ain’t weakness…
Truth is progress.

[Final Chorus]
Some truths are harder to swallow,
Some truths are harder to swallow,
When lies drown my trust in tomorrows,
Sealing fates hollowed by ego bros…

[Outro]
But I’d rather choke on honest air,
Than swallow seas that sink what’s fair,
Or breathe ‘em lies like chosen prayers…
Blessed be rivers of brave thinkers.
