Lips of an Angel

Falling Without the Ground

Home Is Where My Heart Finds Peace

Text:
Verse 1
He walks in loud and speaks in foam,
A castle built of slick-tongued tone.
He wears the suit, he wears the grin,
But underneath there’s nowhere in.

He glides on faith of shallow art,
No depth to mind, no depth to heart.
He tells the world what it wants to hear,
And fools the crowds with swagger clear.

Pre-Chorus
Confidence is a blinding shine,
Competence stands quiet, fine.
One wins the stage, one stays unknown,
One gets the throne, one stands alone.

Chorus
Because confidence beats competence,
Louder voice has precedence.
Truth gets buried under roar,
Facts not heard behind big doors.
Confidence can take the lead,
Even if it’s born of need.

(solo)

Verse 2
You want a mind that truly knows,
Not balloon blown by shallow blows.
Substance buried under noise,
Replaced by lights, replaced by toys.

They trade in spark, not in skill,
They seek applause, not iron will.
But honest brains still count the cost,
Of brilliance sold yet truly lost.

Pre-Chorus
Watch the stage, watch the word,
Watch the empty echo heard.
Watch how shallow wins the race,
While depth hides its proper place.

Chorus
Confidence beats competence,
‘Cause people love persistence.
Louder stories win the night,
Even if they lose the fight.

Bridge
Maybe one day we will learn:
That quiet minds make true turn.
And nimble truths will find their sound
Above the empty, echo’d ground.

(solo)

Final Chorus
Confidence vs competence,
Today the smile gains preference.
But wisdom sleeps and waits to rise,
When fewer fear the wiser eyes.

Confidence vs Competence
