Signal Distorted

They sell you calm in pixel frames
Your silence bought, your doubts renamed
Each headline carved with surgeon hands
Truth edited, then reprimanded

We lost the signal
But kept the face
You hear the truth
Through corporate grace
If screams don’t sell
Then let it fade
Distortion covers
What facts betray

Programmed grief in scripted tears
Footage cleaned to hide the fears
Manufactured pain on cue
They bought your voice then silenced you

You never chose what you believed
It was injected perfectly received

We lost the signal
But kept the face
You hear the truth
Through corporate grace
If screams don’t sell
Then let it fade
Distortion covers
What facts betray

No signal
No sound
Just branded fear
And silence loud

Tell me what to fear and who to blame
Paint my doubt in someone’s name
Feed me noise with rhythm clean
Just make it click and keep the screen

We interrupt this broadcast
We interrupt this broadcast
We— we— w—
Welcome— welcome—
To your scheduled view

We lost the signal
But kept the face
You hear the truth
Through corporate grace
Now every scream
Is on a screen
But no one hears
What silence means
