[Verse 1] The heat is rising, the water levels higher than they've ever been The sky's on fire, how many times must I read that headline again? It gets confusing when everyone's thinks they are right Lines become blurry, the truth is an ugly thing to try to hide [Pre-Chorus] Everything I say is like a loaded gun Everyone I talk to is a chosen one [Chorus] Consensus is dead Nobody's in charge and there's no plan Consensus is dead Government is lost and insanity runs the land Consensus is dead [Verse 2] Too many prophets on the timeline selling certainty Everybody weaponized their own insecurity And no one hears a word beneath the noise When your name returns, it destroys my voice [Chorus] Consensus is dead Nobody's in charge and there's no plan Consensus is dead Government is lost and insanity runs the land Consensus is dea [Verse 3] Headlines trade faces, every channel selling panic once again Experts in the thumbnails, everybody screaming like they know the end It gets confusing when the loudest voice decides what's true Facts become fragments, and the noise becomes impossible to cut through [instrumental bridge] [wordless vocals: chopped “ah/oh” hook, call-and-response, stacked harmonies] [Bridge — drop to voice + synth-bass, almost whisper] If everyone's right, then no one’s accountable when the water climbs So we point at the smoke while the clock eats the rest of our time Say it soft so it hurts, say it low so it spreads We built a thousand towers, now we can't share the steps I wanna trust the ground but it moves under my feet Tell me what we agree on when we can’t even agree [Chorus] Consensus is dead Nobody's in charge and there's no plan Consensus is dead Government is lost and insanity runs the land Consensus is dead [Final Chorus — bigger, stacked hooks] Dead (Consensus is dead) Dead (Consensus is dead) Dead (Consensus is dead) Consensus is dead Dead (Consensus is dead) Dead (Consensus is dead) Dead (Consensus is dead) The world has gone mad
