Shards of Smoke

Şarkı Sözleri

[Verse 1] I watched the screen go pale My hands froze on the rail Names in the ash and rain A whole world split in pain Sixty seconds, then the blame Then the story wore one frame And I kept asking why Why the tears, why the sky? [Pre-Chorus] Show me the tape Show me the chain Show me the hands On the paper trail Who heard the plea Who shut the door? I need the truth I need it more [Chorus] Tell me the truth Tell me the truth (la verdad, dis-moi tout) Don’t sell me smoke Don’t sell me smoke (la verdad, dis-moi tout) If the facts are buried deep We dig where the silence speaks Tell me the truth Tell me the truth [Verse 2] Footsteps in the dust Phones that lost the trust Families broke in half Searching through the aftermath Every flag, every name Every wound deserves its frame If the record stays locked tight Then the questions stay alive [Pre-Chorus] Show me the tape Show me the chain Show me the hands On the paper trail Who heard the plea Who shut the door? I need the truth I need it more [Chorus] Tell me the truth Tell me the truth (la verdad, dis-moi tout) Don’t sell me smoke Don’t sell me smoke (la verdad, dis-moi tout) If the facts are buried deep We dig where the silence speaks Tell me the truth Tell me the truth [Bridge] I’m not singing for a rumor I’m singing for the names I’m singing for the mothers Left to carry all the shame If you want us to believe you Open every hidden room Let the light in, let it through Let it cut the lie in two [Final Chorus] Tell me the truth Tell me the truth (la verdad, dis-moi tout) Don’t sell me smoke Don’t sell me smoke (la verdad, dis-moi tout) If the facts are buried deep We dig where the silence speaks Tell me the truth Tell me the truth
