Absurd, the narrative I heard.
Truth in not a single word.
Thought you'd never
leave a trace.
Digging deep, I found the seed
of this public disgrace.
Your rumours.
They're spreading fast.
Cutting in all over
like shards of glass.
Flint killing
sparked the beginning
of a vicious lie.
We both know why.
But this was over,
But this was over,
I should've cut the tie.
I should've cut the tie.
CHORUS:
Saw with my third eye.
You will never be the cause
of my defeat.
For where those rumours lie,
I'll pull up from the root
With the heat.
With the heat.
Caged by tales you've told of me.
Fraught with your dishonesty.
Oh we both know the reasons
and I had to tell.
I'll leave your fate to karma;
she'll get you better than I will.
That's just proof of envy
The naked truth will save me
Can't deny or hide
When it's in your mind
Been climbing poison ivy
Creepin' behind me
You built a vicious web
With the things you said
CHORUS x2
Truth in not a single word.

Pretty clearly about the experience of having malicious rumours spread about you. I like that it's left ambigious who is doing the trash talk; a spurned lover, a former friend, it could be anyone. Poetic and empowering lyrics about not letting people's talk get you down.
