Trap Door Politics
Verse 1
Shadows dance in the marble halls (uh)
Smiles like knives behind closed walls
Promises crumble before they land
Every handshake comes with a hidden plan
Watch your step,( the floor might shift)
Loyalty’s a game, and trust is myth
Pre-Chorus
They talk in circles, wear a disguise (yeah)
One wrong move, you’ll meet surprise
Chorus
Trap door politics, everybody hides (everybody hides)
Trust is rare when exit plans collide
Backstab in the daylight, smiles in the night
Play the game careful or you lose the fight
Watch the throne,( the cracks run deep)
Trap door politics, secrets don’t sleep
Verse 2
Allegiances change like the wind (uh-huh)
Friends today, tomorrow your sin
Gold-lined words, (silver-tongued lies)
Eyes on the prize while the truth dies
Step too close, you might fall through
Everyone’s got something to prove
Pre-Chorus
Whispers echo in the gilded air (shh)
Better trust only what you can bear
Chorus
Trap door politics, everybody hides (everybody hides)
Trust is rare when exit plans collide
Backstab in the daylight, smiles in the night
Play the game careful or you lose the fight
Watch the throne, the cracks run deep
Trap door politics,( secrets don’t sleep)
Bridge
One move wrong, the floor gives way (floor gives way)
The puppet masters laugh while you pay
Eyes wide open, never blind
Only fools leave their fate behind
Chorus
Trap door politics, everybody hides (everybody hides)
Trust is rare when exit plans collide
Backstab in the daylight, smiles in the night
Play the game careful or you lose the fight
Watch the throne, the cracks run deep
Trap door politics, (secrets don’t sleep)
Outro
In the halls of power, the truth’s a ghost
Only the cautious get what they want most
Step light, keep your mind on the leap
Trap door politics… the secrets you keep
