Don't Call It Searching

**Verse 1** Rewrite yesterday's pages. Sand the edges, smooth the shame. Heroes never cast a shadow, Every scar erased by name. Maps can lie with careful colors. Monuments can learn to grin. History can't tell its story When the verdict pencils in. **Pre-Chorus** Every witness has a memory. Every stone remembers rain. **Chorus** Don't call it searching If the answer's already known. Don't coach the witnesses. Let the evidence speak alone. Truth doesn't need a bodyguard. It doesn't fear the light. If your questions wear handcuffs... You're not looking—you're rewriting. --- **Verse 2** Measure mountains by a promise. Teach the fossils what to say. If the map must fit the scripture, Every compass loses way. The rocks don't know our doctrines. The stars don't join a side. Wonder dies the moment The verdict starts the guide. **Pre-Chorus** Truth was never made more holy By refusing what it found. **Chorus** Don't call it searching If the answer's already known. Don't coach the witnesses. Let the evidence speak alone. Truth doesn't need a bodyguard. It doesn't fear the light. If your questions wear handcuffs... You're not looking—you're rewriting. --- **Verse 3** Publish only friendly numbers. Hide the studies that don't sell. Dress a slogan up as science, Call the silence "evidence" well. Every chart can wear a costume. Every graph can play a role. But reality keeps knocking On the locked and guarded door. **Bridge** The mountain isn't loyal. The atom has no vote. Languages remember mothers. The ocean keeps its notes. The witness owes no kingdom. No church. No stock exchange. The truth is not a servant. Don't ask it to wear chains. **Final Chorus** Don't call it searching If the ending starts the tale. Don't coach the witnesses. Don't teach the scales to fail. Truth is patient. Truth is stubborn. It survives our loudest claims. Reality signs no contract... It never learns our names.
