Stories Never Lie

[Verse 1]
We feared that the truth would terrify kids,
So we stitched up the lies and rewrote the scripts.
Each of us hiding our secrets in shame,
Regretting the fiction that brought us this fame.

We dressed up the witches as sweet princesses,
But all of it felt like some cheap little guesses.
The truth is revealed not by those on the stage,
But by ones who can read through the lines on the page.

[Chorus]
We never meant to awaken their fears,
So we buried the truth in old dusty years.
But what can we do when ideas grow thin,
And credits roll by while the truth stays within?

We don't want the shine, just the truth deep inside,
Where sorrow and fear are no reason to hide.
It's time to uncover the darker design —
So children can learn life’s not all by design.

[Verse 2]
Blood on the slipper — the ball masked the screams,
Stepsisters went blind, lost in envy’s cruel beams.
The apple decayed from the witch's own curse,
And mirrors all shattered from sins long rehearsed.

Betrayal was written — the mermaid now foam,
She vanished in waves, never finding a home.
Love was a curse, and hope had decayed,
While freedom — a ghost in the distance — just swayed.

[Chorus]
We never meant to awaken their fears,
So we buried the truth in old dusty years.
But what can we do when ideas grow thin,
And credits roll by while the truth stays within?

We don't want the shine, just the truth deep inside,
Where sorrow and fear are no reason to hide.
It's time to uncover the darker design —
So children can learn life’s not all by design.

[Verse 3 – Choir]
You burned every truth from the pages of old,
Redrew all the stories with meanings you sold.
The world crossed us out, rewrote our fate,
But truth won’t be lost — it just hides, lying in wait.

We came from the books, now erased from the screen,
We smile with masks, hiding all that we've seen.
But lies wear thin — you can’t hide forever,
The truth lives beneath the paper and leather.

[Bridge]
We are done being silent — hear our voice rise,
Through glittering tales that once blinded your eyes.
We’re not your heroes, and we’re not your foes,
We’re just the ones who can see what you don’t.

[Final Chorus – Choir]
Just hear my cry — the truth’s in your core,
Where tears and fear don’t mean closing the door.
Time to tear off that invisible thread
That ties you to fairytales spun in your head.

Let the masks fall, let the curtain collapse,
Let’s end this parade built on polished traps.
It may hurt — but chains will break away,
For truth is what sets the free ones to stay.
