Out Of Context

Self proclaimed spokesman

babbling as they please

telling you all when

to get on your knees

modern day messiahs

sifting through the reeds

Hoping that you never

discover their true deeds

all thats good is hidden

seeking is forbidden

sounds out of context to me

Out Of Context

The way it seems to be

No telling of the truth

for you and me

Maps with missing corners

white lines drawn in ice

Restricted by permission

truth locked behind advice

Frozen doors and warning signs

Authorized eyes only

They tell you what is visible

then sell you what is holy

all thats good is hidden

seeking is forbidden

sounds out of context to me

Out Of Context

The way it seems to be

No telling of the truth

for you and me

Televised forgiveness

sold by the hour mark

Scripted sins and blessings

performed before the dark

They speak in borrowed verses

with cameras as their creed

Passing plates of fear and hope

while starving what you need

all thats good is hidden

seeking is forbidden

sounds out of context to me

Muted words and shadow bans

the silence has a cost

Truth reduced to fragments

then carefully re-crossed

They don’t have to break the lie

just keep it incomplete

Clip the frame, adjust the lens

and call it obsolete

Out Of Context

The way it seems to be

No telling of the truth

for you and me

If it doesn’t fit the narrative

they say it can’t exist

If you ask the wrong questions

you’re quietly dismissed

All that’s good is hidden

Seeking is forbidden

Still sounds out of context to me
