[Verse 1] Velvet rope rhetoric, etiquette weaponized elegance, Private runways at night, no manifests for the evidence, Pedigree predators broker their bets in settlements, Documents vanish, then branded as “irrelevance,” Island invitations embossed in discreet envelopes, Cigar smoke drifting through rooms where the curtains stay closed, Philanthropic veneers mask the rooms where they regulate, Charity auctions camouflage what the donors facilitate, Ledger lines weave through the framework of governance, Pull one thread, watch the whole structure lose substance, Marble hall dialogues, auctions of anonymity, Names get erased, replaced with a myth of divinity, Black book margins with numbers that never get traced, Flights with no records, yet everyone knows it’s the place, If you think it’s fiscal, rethink the entire equation, Boarding reads “priority,” priority hides the location. [Chorus] Silk on the skyline, strings in the night Hands out of sight still pulling it tight Gold in the daylight, ghosts in the white Smile for the cameras, vanish the plight We sing low, don’t say their name We know though, who runs the game Hearts under lock, keys out of frame Echoes in opera, power in pain [Verse 2] Symphonic systems, divisions get split and surrounded, Executives edit the narrative, truth gets impounded, Guest lists encrypted, attendance selectively counted, Yachts off the grid where the coastline is barely accounted, Ethics get fractioned, then packaged and quietly mounted, Wealth accumulates where the pressure is rarely accounted, Fragments of fact get reshaped to adaptive perspectives, Spokesmen spin language to soften aggressive objectives, Benefit banquets with curtains that never get lifted, Photographs missing, the negatives suddenly shifted, Signal the symbol, the symbol dissolves in the ether, Either you feed or get folded beneath the procedure, Kick, push, influence glides through administrative layers, Rotations of power exchanging invisible favors, Tarmac arrivals at hours the tower won’t log, Routes that don’t route on a map, just a fog. [Chorus] Silk on the skyline, strings in the night Hands out of sight still pulling it tight Gold in the daylight, ghosts in the white Smile for the cameras, vanish the plight We sing low, don’t say their name We know though, who runs the game Hearts under lock, keys out of frame Echoes in opera, power in pain [Bridge] Crescendo codes in a sequence concealed in the seams, Agreements repeated till silence is sold as a dream, Currents of loyalty lock in a permanent scheme, Fragments get sanctified, framed as a necessary means, Hear it, high tones carry encrypted desires, Circles of buyers acquire control of the wires, Structures rotate, generating quiet compliance, Strings seem to sing while the truth stays in silence. [Chorus] Silk on the skyline, strings in the night Hands out of sight still pulling it tight Gold in the daylight, ghosts in the white Smile for the cameras, vanish the plight We sing low, don’t say their name We know though, who runs the game Hearts under lock, keys out of frame Echoes in opera, power in pain [Outro] Curtain descends, yet the influence lives in the wings, Figures unseen keep the scene in a delicate string, Sound of the quiet reveals what the silence can bring, Read every layer, you’ll notice the pattern within.
