Media Puppets

Twisted headlines paint the night Shadows dance beneath their light Whispers echo through the wire Lies ignite a growing fire Screens are flickering with deceit Silent chaos in the street Truth is buried deep in ash Trust is breaking like stained glass Echoes of deception fill the air Falsehoods tangled everywhere Media puppets pull the strings In the land of broken kings Masked agendas Hidden schemes False prophets in televised dreams Reality’s a shattered screen Lost within the in-between Voices trapped in endless loop Falling into the same old swoop Fact and fiction start to blend Where do we go How does it end Pawns in play The game unfolds Truths are bought and stories sold Voices loud But feelings numb Waiting for the tides to come
