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
