What's Done in the Darkness

[Intro — smoky slide guitar, swamp bass] (Whispered) Everybody's got a shadow... But some shadows tell the truth. [Verse 1] You wore that smile like a loaded gun Had everybody fooled with your perfect disguise But I saw the truth hiding behind your eyes The wind keeps talking, and the truth don't sleep [Pre-Chorus] You can paint it pretty You can dress it in gold But every story has a chapter That the darkness won't hold [Chorus] What's done in the darkness Won't stay buried forever Every secret leaves a shadow Every lie leaves a scar You can run from the truth But you can't outrun the stars The sky keeps every story And the night knows who you are [Verse 2] I've seen good people break From carrying your blame I've walked through the ashes And I know what survives [Bridge — half-time psychedelic breakdown] Truth doesn't chase anybody... It waits patiently. You can hide from the world... But you can't hide from the rain. [Final Chorus — explosive guitars, gang vocals] What's done in the darkness Won't stay buried forever Every secret leaves a shadow Every lie leaves a scar You can run from the truth But you can't outrun the stars The sky keeps every story And the night knows who you are Yeah... it comes to light. Sooner or later. [Outro — slide guitar fading] (Whispered) The night remembers everything.
