It Starts with Me

It started with a whisper, a malicious little spark A rumor growing like a tumor, thriving in the dark I walked into the hallway and I felt the air go cold Watching all the faces as the "story" was retold Some were looking down, and some were laughing in the back While others mouthed the words "no way," watching the attack. It’s exploding from our screens, it’s a digital infection Cruel intentions spreading out in every direction I’m sitting in my seat, just looking out the glass Praying for a day when all this shadow work will pass. ‘Cause rumors start with quick conclusions Building up these devastating illusions But you need the whole story to find the light To reach the truth and the glory in the middle of the f***t Yeah, it’s a narrative w*r, but I’m closing the door On the lies they told before. Mean-spirited abusers, they’re the looters of the mind Leaving all the wreckage and the reputations behind. They’re reputation uprooters, they’re polluters of the soul Trying to take the pieces of the things they can’t control It’s an epic battle now between the love and the hate Which one’s gonna resonate? Which one’s gonna dominate? They say it’s a soulless society, and I fear it’s true But the only way to stop the spread is starting something new Only love can k**l the virus, only love can set us free And if it’s gonna start somewhere... it’s gotta start with me. (Yeah, it starts with me!) ‘Cause rumors start with quick conclusions Building up these devastating illusions But you need the whole story to find the light To reach the truth and the glory in the middle of the f***t! I see it clearly now. Beyond the noise. Beyond the phones. We’re not standing here alone. It starts with me.
