Shackless Of Speech

They tell you you're free, speak your mind
But the chains are hidden, they're hard to find
Whispering lies, they say you're heard
But silence is louder when you speak the word
Censors in shadows, they pull the strings
Control the story, decide the kings
Say what they want, but not what's real
Freedom's a game, and you don't get to feel

Shackles of speech, holding us tight
They say we're free, but it's all out of sight
Speak your truth, but they close the door
The chains are tight, but we still want more
We're told to speak, but they shut us down
Freedom's a crown that's lost in the ground

Shackles of speech
What's freedom if it's just a lie?
Shackles of speech
What's the cost when you're forced to comply?

They call it truth, but it's all a lie
If you fight back, they'll make you comply
The truth's a weapon, it's hard to say
In a world where silence is the price you pay
We scream for justice, we scream for change
But the voice that's loud gets locked in a cage
Freedom of speech, it's a fading sound
In the echo of control, it can't be found
