¶ Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Six hours deep in the rotunda haze
Diplomats fight in a thousand ways
Then metal boots and rifles raised
Old nightmares come back in a blaze
Titus says, “We want a place to stand”
Pailisto sighs like, “Not again, man”
A seat was waiting all along
But they kicked in the door
like they wrote the wrong song
(Pre-Chorus 1)
Power cracks in the aftermath
Peace don’t come without some wrath
And in the shadows, someone grins
A janitor dressed up in sin
(Chorus)
It was a badge of lies, a perfect disguise
They chained my name while they watched me die
Treason in the courts, blood in the streets
Justice don’t care who it defeats
But I came back strong, yeah I survived
Now you’re gonna pay for the life you tried
It was a badge of lies, now the truth arrives
And I’m taking back what’s mine
(Verse 2)
BlackHoleBucks, July feels wrong
Christmas cups while the trap sings along
She sits down with a velvet smile
But the whole damn act lasts just a while
“Chimera’s planning—tell me straight”
Jorin smirks, seals up fate
Then sirens scream, the scanners flare
And suddenly the air tastes like despair
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Hands behind my back, cold steel tight
My whole world turns in fluorescent light
And he waves goodbye like it’s a joke
While my future’s wrapped in smoke
(Verse)
It was a badge of lies, a perfect disguise
They chained my name while they watched me die
Treason in the courts, blood in the streets
Justice don’t care who it defeats
But I came back strong, yeah I survived
Now you’re gonna pay for the life you tried
It was a badge of lies, now the truth arrives
And I’m taking back what’s mine
(Bridge)
They said “Guilty,” stripped the crown
Threw my honor to the ground
But one small crack, one stupid mistake
Was all it took for truth to wake
His name still printed plain as day
Jorin’s slip lit the only way
Now the hunter’s out, the prey can’t hide
I’m the storm you built inside
(Final Chorus)
It was a badge of lies, now watch it burn
Every false conviction takes its turn
You stole my face, you stole my name
Now you’re the one who’s framed in flame
I’m not a man you leave behind
I’m the reckoning you’ll find
It was a badge of lies, but I’m alive
And I’m taking back what’s mine
