[intro – low, fuzzed-out guitar riff, kick drum thump] I’ve heard every pretty promise, Every whisper in the dark. But your hands are clean of action, While your mouth is leaving marks. [verse 1 – sultry, taunting delivery] You dress your lies in leather, And your truths in lace. But when the smoke clears, baby, There’s nothing in their place. [pre-chorus – guitar stabs] You’re a silver tongue in a shadow room, But the light tells a different story. [chorus – full band, gritty and loud] I see your silence moving faster than your lips, Every empty vow just slides right off my hips. Your voice is loud, but I’ve got no doubt — I know who you are when the lights go out. [verse 2 – low and menacing] You wear your crown like a savior, But you never touched the flame. You keep your hands in your pockets, While the world screams your name. [pre-chorus – short, sharp] “What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you say.” [chorus – repeat, more venom] I see your silence moving faster than your lips, Every empty vow just slides right off my hips. Your voice is loud, but I’ve got no doubt — I know who you are when the lights go out. [bridge – drop to clean, haunting guitar] I can smell the truth when you try to hide, Like smoke from a match you lit inside. I’m not fooled by the words you sell, I’ve seen your heaven, I’ve heard your hell. [final chorus – biggest, most defiant delivery] I see your silence moving faster than your lips, Every empty vow just slides right off my hips. Your voice is loud, but I’ve got no doubt — I know who you are when the lights go out. [outro – main riff fades into reverb]
