[Verse 1]
Hey NARC, spare me the act,
I’ve seen your script, I know it by heart. Always dodging the truth and stirring it up,
Go cry me a river, I am immune to your crap.
[Pre-Chorus]
Go Gaslight, twist, rewrite the scene,
Go make me the villain,
I am ok with that too, Cuz your mask is slipping, the crowd see’s it too.
[Chorus]
Hey NARC, I’m done with your crap, Your kingdom of lies is starting to crack.
Hey NARC, stop with the games, I see what you’re doing, don’t start this again
[Verse 2]
You light my fuse, then act all confused, Boy, you know what you do! You start my fire, then go cry for help, Same old rerun of your pitiful act
[Pre-Chorus]
Go Gaslight, twist, rewrite the scene,
Go make me the villain,
I am ok with that too, Cuz your mask is slipping, the crowd see’s it too.
Hey NARC, I’m done with your crap, Your kingdom of lies is starting to crack.
Hey NARC, stop with the games, I see what you’re doing, don’t start this again.
You love preaching big words, they’re part of your act, But behind closed curtains, the truth never lasts. You binge on excuses,
you gorge on the lies,
And the cracks are now showing, the crowd’s getting wise.
[Outro]
I had my wins, sweet little sparks. After brushing your teeth, did you ever wonder where your Sonic had been?
“Now tell me Narc, who’s laughing last?”
Hey NARC, I’m done with your crap, Your kingdom of lies is starting to crack.
Hey NARC, stop with the games, I see what you’re doing, don’t start this again.

They told me, “Hold on,” it’ll turn around
Justice is late but it’s coming to town
So I stayed breathing, stayed on the line
Counting the seconds like they were a sign.
Every tomorrow was one more thread
Stitching a wound that never bled dead
Years went missing while I played brave
Standing upright at the edge of a grave.
Hope kills you slowly, quiet and clean
Keeps you alive in a life in between
Waiting for rescue that never arrives
Breathing, but not really living your life
So I stopped looking, shut off the light
Nothing is coming, nothing will right
If this is the story I’m written to live
Then this is the ending I finally give.
Hope was the hurt behind it all
Hope fed me lies, watched me fall
Every time I hit the wall Hope was the hurt behind it all.
Hope was the hurt behind it all
Hope fed me lies, watched me fall
Every time I hit the wall Hope was the hurt behind it all.
They say “fight harder,” “don’t you give in”
Like willpower rewrites where you’ve been
But strength is a blade with no place to land When no one is reaching to take your hand
I learned disappointment has muscle and bone
It lives in the marrow, it grows on its own
You can’t miss heaven if you never saw sky
You can’t break hope if you let it die.
Peace isn’t joy, it’s just no pain
When you stop expecting change
I quit waiting for rescue calls That’s when I stopped the fall.
Hope was the hurt behind it all
Hope fed me lies, watched me fall
Every time I hit the wall Hope was the hurt behind it all.
Hope was the hurt behind it all
Hope fed me lies, watched me fall
Every time I hit the wall Hope was the hurt behind it all.
[BRIDGE]
Self-defense, no other way
It was me or hope that day
I had to cut what pulled me down
Just to keep my feet on ground.
Hope was the hurt behind it all
Hope fed me lies, watched me fall.
Every time I hit the wall
Hope was the hurt behind it all.
No one is coming
No one was sent I stop rehearsing
What might have been
I keep breathing
That’s all I do
Alive in a life
That never came true.
