They’ve developed a unique sound that pushes boundaries and challenges mainstream music norms. Their music often carries a message about societal issues, and they have been widely recognized for their thought-provoking lyrics and electrifying performances.

Song Title:
“Fragments of Truth”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C Am Em G
Walking on the edge of what we know,
C Am Em G
Breaking free from chains we outgrow,
C Am Em G
Finding truth in lies, and lies in truth,
C Am Em G
We’re all just fragments, in the hands of youth.
(Chorus)
F C G Am
We’re spinning in circles, caught in a lie,
F C G Am
Lost in the chaos, under the sky,
F C G Am
We search for the answers, we yearn for the proof,
F C G Am
In this elliptical journey, we find fragments of truth.
(Verse 2)
C Am Em G
Torn between right and the easy wrong,
C Am Em G
In our hearts, we knew it all along,
C Am Em G
The fabric of reality, worn and thin,
C Am Em G
Unraveling secrets, hidden within.
(Chorus)
F C G Am
We’re spinning in circles, caught in a lie,
F C G Am
Lost in the chaos, under the sky,
F C G Am
We search for the answers, we yearn for the proof,
F C G Am
In this elliptical journey, we find fragments of truth.
