Truth Defiled

I carve, my truth, into the flesh of swine
Your message so divine
Pales in comparison to mine
Your face, on pixelated screen
You think you speak for me
Speak for one side of everything

So corrosive
So reviled
Follow close now
The truth defiled

You play victim, from safe within your home
You cast so many stones
Why can’t you leave these things alone?
Instead, you smile and place the blame
An orchestrated game
Nobody wins, nobody wins if no one plays

So corrosive
So reviled
Follow close now
The truth defiled
It’s an execution
Without a trial
Now you’re branded
The truth defiled

Accusations, well received
Pay for transgressions ill-advised
Fabrications, yet they believe
Speak truth to power, as power lies and lies

So corrosive
So reviled
We hang on every word of
The truth defiled
