“Never Go Back”
by Scott McGuire
Lyrics
Verse 1
I used to say, “I don’t do politics”
Kept my head down, stayed out of the mix
But silence ain’t neutral, it’s a slow decay
Evil moves in when good men look away
We were inches from the great collapse
Blindfolded, walking off the map
By the grace of God, we saw
And stepped up before it all was lost
Pre-Chorus
They said, “Don’t ask,” they said, “Don’t see”
But truth don’t hide forever when hearts break free
Chorus
The truth about the silence, the fear, the control
The poison in the food, the lies we were told
The puppets, the papers, the dark behind the light
But we woke up
And we chose to fight
Yeah, we’ve come too far to fall for the trap
We’ve seen the edge
And we’ll never go back
Verse 2
The fog is lifting, the script’s exposed
What was whispered now echoes bold
Legacy power dressed up in gold
But we’re not buying what we’ve been sold
No more sleeping through the siren’s song
We’re wide awake, and we’re holding strong
Pre-Chorus
They said, “Don’t ask,” they said, “Don’t see”
But the veil ripped wide and we found what’s real beneath
Chorus
The truth about the silence, the fear, the control
The poison in the food, the lies we were told
The puppets, the papers, the dark behind the light
But we woke up
And we chose to fight
Yeah, we’ve come too far to fall for the trap
We’ve seen the edge
And we’ll never go back
Bridge
The price of indifference is paid in chains
But we broke free, and we’re not afraid
Call it faith, call it grace, call it grit
But we’re still standing
And we’re done with it
Final Chorus
The truth about the silence, the fear, the control
The poison in the food, the lies we were told
The puppets, the papers, the dark behind the light
But we woke up
And we chose to fight
Yeah, we’ve come too far to fall for the trap
We’ve seen the edge
And we’ll never go back
