They spin their tales, weaving webs of deceit
With silver tongues and chains unseen
Eyes wide open, yet we're fast asleep
Numbed and blinded by the gleam
They sell us pills to dull our minds
Feed us lies with every bite
In a world designed to make us blind
We're caged and told to love the sight
They preach of peace with hands stained red
Distract us with their shiny toys
Behind closed doors, they fill with dread
While we're consumed by endless noise
They build their walls, they draw their lines
Divide us to control our hearts
While dreams decay and hope declines
In shadows where they play their parts
They silence truth with a velvet glove
Rewrite the past to suit their need
From towers high, they watch above
While we're kept busy, lost in greed
They chain our thoughts with screens and lights
Distract us from the battles near
In every corner, fear ignites
Yet they pretend there's nothing to fear
They mold our minds with hollow praise
In echo chambers, truth is drowned
With every breath, they set the stage
While we are lost, their power's found
They measure worth in golden scales
Corrupt the pure, inflate the cost
Our voices stifled, strength derailed
In this vast sea, we all are lost
They cage our souls in chains of gold
Disguise the bars as fancy rings
In lavish halls where lies are told
We pay the price for fleeting things
They orchestrate the dance of pain
As we march to their somber beat
With every loss, they sow disdain
While we stumble, trapped in deceit
They forge our chains in dreams of fame
While weaving webs of fleeting grace
Our lives become a hollow game
A mirrored world we can't erase
They flood our minds with fleeting trends
While deeper truths remain concealed
We chase the shadows they defend
And lose the dreams we once revealed
They cloak their greed in virtue's guise
With promises they never keep
As shadows dance before our eyes
We sacrifice the dreams we seek
They sell us freedom, wrapped in chains
Through glossy screens and crafted views
Yet in the shadows, silence reigns
And only whispers of the truth
They cast us into roles defined
By limits set and walls imposed
Our voices lost, our hearts confined
To pathways only they have chose
They sow division, feed the strife
With slogans sharp and venom's bite
While we are bound to endless strife
In darkened corners, out of sight
