Cognitive Dissonance

(Verse 1)

Split screen chaos in my mind

Truth and fiction intertwine

Preacher says I’m born to kneel

But my pulse screams for something real

(Metal Breakdown)

Choke on the static in your sermon

I spit fire with every burden

One side's a cage, the other’s defiance—

I’m the riot in your compliance

(Chorus)

Cognitive dissonance, tearing me apart

I’m stitched together with battle scars

No peace, no rest, just inner war

I won’t be silenced anymore

(Verse 2)

Marching through the noise and shame

Burning down your house of blame

Label me a heathen soul

I wear that curse like burning gold

(Guitar Solo)

🎸 *Shrieking bends echo the conflict, tremolo picking sparks rebellion*

(Bridge)

Caught between shadows and neon truths

Propaganda in bulletproof suits

You feed the lie and pray I choke

But I’m the fire in the smoke

(Final Chorus)

Cognitive dissonance, bleeding through the scream

Your doctrine’s cracking at the seams

No gods, no chains, no righteous war

I’ve found myself in the uproar

(Outro)

Shattered thoughts, forged in resistance

I thrive in cognitive dissonance
