Lil Diddy Lyrics

The glitter fades the lights go dim

Behind the velvet ropes it's cold and grim

Promises whispered in the backroom's air

Young hearts broken no one seems to care

And the world spins on blind to the crime

As shadows grow darker with the passing time

How do we sleep while the wicked reign

Turning love into something profane?

Behind the curtains they laugh and they lie

But the truth can't be silenced no matter how they try

You can smell the greed it clings to their skin

The powerful play a game they always win

Innocence traded for fortune and fame

But the stains on their hands they'll never explain

And the world looks away as the victims cry

Another secret swept beneath the sky

How do we sleep while the wicked reign

Turning love into something profane?

Behind the curtains they laugh and they lie

But the truth can't be silenced no matter how they try

There's no escape from the damage they've done

No redemption found in the setting sun

But every dark secret will soon be laid bare

And in their own hell they'll despair

They hide in the mansions behind gilded walls

Thinking they're safe from the justice that calls

But echoes of suffering won't be ignored

Every tear shed is sharpening the sword

So how do we sleep knowing what they've become?

Monsters in suits the damage they've done

But the victims will rise they'll shatter the glass

And the empire of silence will crumble at last
