Shadows Don’t Lie

[intro – fuzz bass riff, kick + hi-hat] I can see it in your hands, Every move’s a brand-new plan. You keep selling silver lines, But the gold’s all in the grind. [verse 1 – tight groove] You talk like a loaded gun, But I’ve been counting every one. I don’t need your alibis, Your shadows tell me all your lies. [pre-chorus – slight build] You’re louder when you’re standing still, I’ve seen enough, I know the drill. [chorus – big fuzz riff, crash cymbals] What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you say. Your hands keep writing stories, Your mouth just gets in the way. Shadows don’t lie, they only play With the light you throw away. [verse 2 – same tightness, more bite] Every step’s a smoking gun, Every truth is overrun. Your smile’s just a paper shield, But the cracks show what’s real. [pre-chorus – bass growl] You’re louder when you’re standing still, I’ve seen enough, I know the drill. [chorus – repeat with more grit] What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you say. Your hands keep writing stories, Your mouth just gets in the way. Shadows don’t lie, they only play With the light you throw away. [bridge – stripped bass + kick, staccato vocal] Your words fade out, Your steps stay loud. Every move you make Draws the lines you can’t fake. [final chorus – biggest, heaviest hit] What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you say. Your hands keep writing stories, Your mouth just gets in the way. Shadows don’t lie, they only play With the light you throw away. [outro – fuzz riff fades into feedback]
