"The Narrative" lyrics

Prey on ideals
Feed on devotion
Just to get a rise
Trigger our emotions
Deliver images
That never should be shown
Everything is done
With manipulation

Put that spin on it
Get our feelings riding high
Share that take of it
Enrage the other side
A quiet protest
Forms a million
Furious loud voices (voices)

They drown out what's important

Drop the blindfold
Your values are bought and sold

These armies are clashing
These people are listening
They’re all forming our stories
But are they worth our attention?

Theories before proof
Judgement before evidence
No justification
For your speculation
Theories before proof
Judgement before evidence
This method's been broken
Since its inception

Silver linings
Laced with agendas
Your motives concealed by camouflage

Maybe it's time
We turn to our brother
Settle our differences
Believe in one another
They want to breed division
We chose to resist their mission
We will bind this world we live in

These armies are clashing
These people are listening
They’re all forming our stories
But are they worth our attention?

We can't see the facts
They've been kidnapped
We'll hunt them down, set them free from their traps
Dig a little deeper
Change what we inherited
Power to the people
Or power to the narrative?
Dig a little deeper
Change what we inherited
Power to the people
Or the narrative?
