(Verse 1)
They say I'm in the woods, lurking in the night,
Whispering shadows, hiding out of sight,
But I know the truth, and the truth ain't told,
There's a man on a mission, bought and sold.
He's got a name, goes by James,
Pulling strings and playing twisted games,
With teenage voices and a pocket full of lies,
Setting up stories just to watch me die.
(Pre-Chorus)
But I see through the curtain, through the smoke and the haze,
Every move, every word, just a puppet on display,
I won't stay silent, I won't bow down,
You’re playing with fire in this battleground.
(Chorus)
You set me up, but I'm still standing,
You paid the price, now it’s backfiring,
Whispered to the broken, promised them gold,
But your lies, man, they’re getting old.
You set me up, and tried to tear me down,
But I won’t wear that criminal crown,
I’ll keep calling you out till the lights go dim,
You set me up, but you’ll never win.
(Verse 2)
You say “Project Night Watch,” like it’s some big thing,
But it’s all in your head, just a twisted dream,
A figment, a fracture, a splintered mind,
Caught up in a war of your own design.
You’ve got a plan, got a script to play,
Grooming your pawns to have their say,
But the boys in blue, they turned away,
And I’m here, still waiting for my day.
(Pre-Chorus)
You thought you had me cornered, thought I’d break down,
But the truth has a voice, and it’s making a sound,
I’ll keep calling it out, keep holding the line,
Your house of cards won’t stand this time.
(Chorus)
You set me up, but I’m still breathing,
Your web of lies is quickly unweaving,
Told them what to say, dangled the bait,
But I’m still here, so how long can you wait?
You set me up, tried to pull me in,
But I won’t bear the weight of your sin,
I’ll keep speaking the truth till the walls cave in,
You set me up, but you’ll never win.
(Bridge)
And if the police come knocking, I’ll show them the door,
“Look at the strings, see who’s behind it all,”
I’ve got nothing to hide, let ‘em see for themselves,
The truth’s got a way of ringing those bells.
(Chorus)
You set me up, thought I’d shatter and fall,
But you’re the one facing the mirror’s call,
Your lies are cracking, your mask is thin,
I won’t play the villain in your game of sin.
You set me up, and here I remain,
Won’t wear your shackles, won’t shoulder your blame,
I’ll keep calling you out, till the shadows fade,
You set me up, but I won’t be swayed.
(Outro)
Yeah, you set me up, but I’m still standing tall,
No prison bars, no guilty fall,
I’ll keep shining a light on your web of deceit,
You set me up, but I won’t face defeat.
You set me up, but I’m breaking free,
You set me up—but you’ll never break me.
