Through The Tinted Pane

Staring through a pane of tinted glass
Watching all the preconceived shadows pass
You built a box before we even spoke
A fragile wall of cards that never broke

Filtering the light to fit the frame
Ignoring every truth that doesn't name
The ghost you want to see, the role you cast
Living in a future based on past

I won't dance to prove what you won't hear
I won't shrink to fit your narrow fear
Your confirmation bias is a locked up room
Where the truth is buried in the gloom

No, I won't lower my light for a narrative dark
Ignite the evidence and feed the spark, feed the spark
Evidence is piling at your feet
But you'd rather keep the lie complete

A cognitive dissonance, a heavy weight
A choice to let the narrative dictate
Why would I debase my soul for you?
To a judge who's wearing blinders, what is true?

I'm stepping out the cage you tried to build
My cup is full, it's not for you to fill
I won't dance to prove what you won't hear
I won't shrink to fit your narrow fear

Your confirmation bias is a locked up room
Where the truth is buried in the gloom
No, I won't lower my light for a narrative dark
Ignite the evidence and feed the spark, feed the spark

Bias, filter, error state
Your construct is out of date
Bias, filter, error state
I am not what you create

I won't dance to prove what you won't hear
I won't shrink to fit your narrow fear
Your confirmation bias is a locked up room
Where the truth is buried in the gloom

No, I won't lower my light for a narrative dark
Ignite the evidence and feed the spark, feed the spark
Evidence ignored
Narrative deleted
I'm gone
I'm gone
