SMOKE HAS CLEARED

Lyrics

[Intro – Sung Female Vocal | Guitar Riff + Building Drums] You wore a smile like a loaded gun, You played your games till the damage was done. But the smoke is clearing, the truth is here, And everything you buried is coming to light. [Verse 1 – Female Vocal] Friendship like a crown, we wore it proud, Never thought you’d turn and tear it down. You came in smiling, poison underneath, Left your lies like scars we couldn’t see. You thought we’d stay down on the ground, You thought we’d never make a sound. But every broken piece you left behind Is showing us the truth you tried to hide. [Pre-Chorus – Male + Female] Now the smoke has cleared, And the picture’s coming clear. All the lies, all the games, We’re standing face-to-face. [Chorus – Both Vocals] If you come back, the truth comes out, This time there’ll be no fucking doubt! We won’t run, we won’t hide, We’ll stand our ground, side by side. You tried to break us, pushed us to the edge, But we’re still standing, stronger than yesterday. Come back again, let the whole world know— The truth you tried so hard to hide! [Verse 2 – Male Vocal] There were nights that felt like a bad dream, Waking up wondering what was real or what we’d seen. But this wasn’t fiction, this wasn’t a lie, It was our reality staring us in the eyes. And the anger on my face wasn’t aimed at you, It was every lie and every betrayal coming through. Anybody would break under the weight we carried, Anybody would bleed from the trust that was buried. [Pre-Chorus – Female Vocal] Now we’re remembering piece by piece, All the things that stole our peace. You left the damage, left the pain, But we’re taking back our lives again. [Chorus – Both Vocals] If you come back, the truth comes out, This time there’ll be no fucking doubt! We won’t run, we won’t hide, We’ll stand our ground, side by side. You tried to break us, pushed us to the edge, But we’re still standing, stronger than yesterday. Come back again, let the whole world know— The truth you tried so hard to hide! [Bridge – Female Vocal | Guitar Drops Back] You thought we’d forget… You thought we’d forgive… You thought we’d stay broken For the life that we lived. But scars don’t disappear Just because you walk away. And every truth you buried Is coming back today. [Instrumental Break – Guitar Solo | Hard Rock Drums] [Final Chorus – Both Vocals | Bigger, Aggressive] If you come back, the truth comes out, Now everybody knows what you’re about! We won’t run, we won’t hide, We’ll stand our ground, side by side. You tried to break us, pushed us to the edge, But we’re still standing, stronger than yesterday. Come back again, you’ve got nowhere to go— The truth is out… and now the whole world knows! [Outro – Female Vocal] The smoke has cleared… The scars remain… You gave us hell… We found our strength again. You wanted revenge? No… The truth is enough.
