Lyrics

Verse 1

Files blacked out bodies buried deep

Digits deleted histories they keep

You lie for a living politicians with preacher's tone

Criminal hands and your wallets grown

Children in danger you plead for time

Gold in your pockets but not a dime

For schools and hope flint water floods the streets

Look away

Another day—repeat

Chorus

Pull back the veil

We see you

Pull back the veil

Choir wailing

Why do you hoard our pain?

Why do you drain what we build, destroy what you steal?

The choir screams with me

Your hands red — never clean

Post-Chorus

Nothin' to hide but the truth you killed

Nothin' to hide

Nothin' to hide

Verse 2

Contracts signed with silent bribes

Power in backrooms their appetite

Names in the ledger burned to erase

Erase the debt but never the trace

Blame the crowds, blame the rage

Blame the headline — turn the page

We watch your words crawl, cold rational tones

Spin a web — lock the phones

Again

Chorus

Pull back the veil

We see you

Pull back the veil

Choir wailing

Why do you hoard our pain?

Why do you drain what we build, destroy what you steal?

The choir screams with me

Your hands red — never clean

Post-Chorus

Nothin' to hide but the truth you killed

Nothin' to hide

Nothin' to hide

Bridge

Anaphora of anger—again you deny

Again you deflect, pretend, perfect

Again you stack the deck

Cross out the lines

Erase every sign

Still we rise, still we try, still the cost

Every lie branded on the loss

Verse 3

Public trust trampled, check the receipts

Your friends feast, families starve for weeks

Cinematic strings, cold choir chants ignite

Justice is due but never arrives

See the system crack

See faith fade to black

One word

Resist

Chorus

Pull back the veil

We see you

Pull back the veil

Choir wailing

Why do you hoard our pain?

Why do you drain what we build, destroy what you steal?

The choir screams with me

Your hands red — never clean

Post-Chorus

Nothin' to hide but the truth you killed

Nothin' to hide

Nothin' to hide
