Lyrics:
They said good would find its way, in this modern maze we play,
But I see shadows in the light, where the honest hearts must fight.
Decency don’t make a sound, in a world where lost is found,
Tried to hold on to my dreams, now they’re ripples in the streams.

Looking for answers in the night, why the wrong feels so damn right,
Souls aching for a sign, while the wicked sip their wine.
Is the system really flawed? Or is it us that’s acting odd?
Searching for the cause within, all the chaos we’re trapped in.

Caught between what’s real and fake, a heart that’s aching, what’s at stake?
Once a glitch, now a rule, living by a bitter school.
Justice seems a sleeping tale, for the innocent who pale,
Look around and take your stance, in this game it’s just chance.

So who’s on top, and who’s ahead? The straightforward or misled?
Me, I played the hand with grace, but the cunning took my place.
Yeah, those who shunned the light’s embrace, now sit crowned with no trace,
While the gentle hearts fade away, in this troubling charade.

Forgiveness falls like autumn leaves, in the wind of who deceives,
So we cling to what we knew, maybe it’s the world untrue.
Yet the longer we survive, clearer truths begin to thrive,
What was once a fleeting doubt, is the world that we’re about.

Oh, the fairy tales we weave, keep it calm, just don’t believe,
Lost in dreams of what’s profound, in this glitch where hearts resound.

Original idea for this song:
The world places little value on purity of heart; instead, it prioritizes the accuracy of calculations. People do not pursue the truth; they are drawn to power. If you examine history closely, it does not recount the victories of virtue. Rather, it narrates the stories of those who managed to endure, those who recognized that truth serves as a tool rather than a destination. This is why Machiavelli remains pertinent across all eras. He was not a cynic; he was a skilled surgeon. He did not dismiss morality; he merely lacked faith in it as a governing principle. He perceived humanity as a multifaceted, occasionally harsh, yet comprehensible entity, motivated by desire, fear, envy, and profit. He grasped that to thrive in this world, one must view it not through their own lens, but through the lens of how it wishes to be seen.
