Things They Say

[Verse 1]
They talk like gods behind their screens
Spitting truth wrapped in gasoline
Every word a sharpened blade
Cutting deep in the name of praise

[Pre-Chorus]
They build their thrones on broken backs
Smile wide while they twist the facts

[Chorus]
Things they say—echoes in the void
Meant to shame, meant to destroy
Things they say—never meant to heal
Just noise dressed up as something real
I won’t play, I won’t obey
I’m not defined by things they say

[Verse 2]
They write their laws in shifting sand
Change the rules with a sleight of hand
Point their fingers, light the fuse
Then act surprised when we refuse

[Bridge]
I’ve heard it all, the twisted spin
The holy lies, the plastic grin
But I’ve got fire in my veins
And I won’t drown in their acid rain

[Final Chorus]
Things they say—echoes in the void
Meant to shame, meant to destroy
Things they say—never meant to heal
Just noise dressed up as something real
I won’t play, I won’t obey
I’m not defined by things they say
Let them choke on things they say
