Lyrics:
Hard Truths / Comfortable Lies

Verse 1
We learned to smile through clenched teeth
Call it peace, call it belief
Headline promises, smoke and mirrors
Selling hope that disappears
They say don’t ask, don’t push, don’t pry
Just nod along, let sleeping dogs lie
But silence ain’t golden anymore
It’s just fear wearing lipstick smiles
Pre-Chorus
The truth don’t whisper, it don’t wait
It kicks the door, comes in late
And every lie you try to keep
Gets heavier the longer you sleep
Chorus
So tell me now
Hard truths or comfortable lies?
A punch to the chest or a blindfolded life
I’d rather fall standing on my own
I won’t bow my head just to survive
Hard truths slice deep, no compromise
I’m done being fed their comfortable lies
Verse 2
We traded questions for a script
Repeat the lines, don’t lose your grip
Everyone’s right, no one’s wrong
Long as the echo sings along
They dress it up, call it control
Sell convenience for your soul
If it costs nothing to believe
You should know what you were sold
Pre-Chorus
The lie feels warm, the truth feels mean
One keeps you calm, one wakes the beast
But comfort fades when the lights go out
And truth’s the only thing left standing now
Chorus
Hard truths or comfortable lies?
A scar that heals or a slow disguise
I’d rather choke on honesty
I won’t waste my breath on borrowed alibis
Hard truths burn, no compromise
But you can’t build a life on comfortable lies
Bridge
I tried keeping quiet, tried staying polite
But that just helped them sleep at night
If standing up makes waves crash hard
Then let it break what shouldn’t last
FAFO, here’s the line
Cross it once, don’t act surprised
Truth’s got teeth, and now it bites
No more comfortable lies
Breakdown / Half Chorus
Hard truths — say it straight
Comfortable lies — seal your fate
One hurts now, one hurts later
Pick your poison, pick your savior
Final Chorus
Hard truths or comfortable lies?
A moment of pain or a wasted life
I’ll take the hit, I’ll take the fall
But I won’t live numb, deaf, and blind
Hard truths — I’ll pay the price
I’m done surviving on comfortable lies
Outro
So rip the mask, kill the excuse
If it breaks me, so be it — truth
[Spoken]
I won’t waste my breath on borrowed alibis
Hard truths burn, no compromise
But what kind of life can you build on comfortable lies?
