A song for all Fans of James Spader - The Blacklist / Raymond Reddington - --------------------------------------------------- They flood the screen with borrowed lines Pretending truth, rehearsed and timed A thousand faces wear his name But none of them can play his flame They fake a love that sounds so cheap Like lines they learned in their sleep They spread their lies with every post About the man they know the least [PRE-CHORUS] If you’ve heard the way he speaks The quiet depth behind he keeps [CHORUS] Open your eyes Then you’ll see the dirty lies Follow your heart It’s the way to keep the pain apart [SPOKEN] You need to understand who James really is. He speaks in thoughts, not just in words His pauses say what’s never heard He won’t explain, he lets it be And somehow makes you want to see He wouldn’t message late at night Or call you “dear” to feel polite He doesn’t beg, he doesn’t fake He doesn’t give what he won’t take (Even the best impostor couldn’t imitate him) [PRE-CHORUS] If you’ve heard the way he speaks The quiet depth behind he keeps [CHORUS] Open your eyes Then you’ll see the dirty lies Follow your heart It’s the way to keep the pain apart [BRIDGE] James reflects before he speaks The scammer types in needy streaks James observes, says more with less The scammer’s drowning in excess [PRE-CHORUS] If you’ve heard the way he speaks The quiet depth behind he keeps [CHORUS] Open your eyes Then you’ll see the dirty lies Follow your heart It’s the way to keep the pain apart [CHORUS] Open your eyes Then you’ll see the dirty lies Follow your heart It’s the way to keep the pain apart [FINALE] James is not on Instagram No Facebook, X, or Telegram He doesn’t text, he doesn’t mail He’s offline, real, not some scam tale So open your eyes… or stay blind. [CHORUS] Open your eyes Then you’ll see the dirty lies Follow your heart It’s the way to keep the pain apart (Aaaaah ah) (Aaaaaa ah) [OUTRO] Open your eyes... or stay blind. --------------------------------------- - Lyrics by Daniela Franzen - (Idea of the Music-Cover: Danny)
