Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’ve heard your promises painted in gold,
But the shine wears thin when the nights turn cold.
You talk about love like a sacred vow,
But where the hell is the proof right now
[Verse 2]
I’ve walked through fires for words you said,
But smoke still lingers inside my head.
If faith is a bridge, then mine’s half-broke,
From every dream I’ve watched turn to smoke.
[Verse 3]
You dress up lies in a preacher’s suit,
Call it salvation, but I want truth.
Your halo’s cracked, your crown is bent,
I’m cashing in what my soul has spent.
[Pre-Choruses]
Are you telling me love, or selling me pain
Am I standing in truth, or lost in the game
[Chorus]
The hardest truth beats the sweetest lie.
Cause broken wings still learn to fly.
I’d rather bleed than watch faith die.
The mirror shows what you can’t deny.
I need something solid, not smoke and spit,
Is this REAL… or just BULLSHIT
[Verse 4]
I’ve seen the show, I’ve heard the pitch,
Every “forever” comes with a switch.
If this is heaven, why’s it feel like hell
If you’ve got the answer, you’d better sell.
[Verse 5]
Whiskey burns cleaner than the words you said,
At least it’s honest when it pounds my head.
I’d rather the truth cut sharp and deep,
Than promises dressed in wolves that creep.
[Verse 6]
You say “trust me” like a sacred song,
But the melody’s been off all along.
Is your heart a stage, is your soul a play
I need the truth—don’t look away.
[Pre-Choruses]
Are you building me hope, or tearing me down
Do you mean what you say, or just play around
[Chorus]
The hardest truth beats the sweetest lie.
Cause broken wings still learn to fly.
I’d rather bleed than watch faith die.
The mirror shows what you can’t deny.
I need something solid, not smoke and spit,
Is this REAL… or just BULLSHIT
[Verse 7]
I’ve watched the daylight expose the night,
Where shadows hide what we call “right.”
If you’re just a mask that slips and falls,
Then I’d rather face the truth, flaws and all.
[Verse 8]
Your stories echo like worn-out tape,
Each one frayed at the edges of faith.
You promise freedom, but chain me still,
A prison dressed up in a holy thrill.
[Verse 9]
Every scar I’ve carried tells me plain,
That truth and lies don’t bleed the same.
One heals with time, one leaves a stain,
So tell me, which one runs in your veins
[Pre-Choruses]
Is this the real thing I’ve waited to find
Or another cheap hustle, just wasting my time
[Chorus]
The hardest truth beats the sweetest lie.
Cause broken wings still learn to fly.
I’d rather bleed than watch faith die.
The mirror shows what you can’t deny.
I need something solid, not smoke and spit,
Is this REAL… or just BULLSHIT
[Verse 10]
I’ve seen lovers swear they’ll never go,
But the tracks they leave still tell me so.
Don’t swear eternity, don’t fake a kiss,
If all that’s left is emptiness.
[Verse 11]
The crowd may cheer when you take the stage,
But silence cuts when you turn the page.
I’m not your pawn, I won’t be fooled,
I want the truth, raw, sharp, and cruel.
[Verse 12]
So here I stand, no mask, no disguise,
I’ll take the hurt if it means no lies.
I’ve had enough of the smoke and spit—
Is this real or is this bullshit
[Pre-Choruses]
Am I blind to the light, or seeing too clear
Is this the answer, or just smoke up my rear
[Chorus]
The hardest truth beats the sweetest lie.
Cause broken wings still learn to fly.
I’d rather bleed than watch faith die.
The mirror shows what you can’t deny.
I need something solid, not smoke and spit,
Is this REAL… or just BULLSHIT
