Missing Footage Written by David Wright 1 July 2026 Copyright © 2026, by David Wright [Verse 1] The case is on The room feels thin He clears his throat Then checks his grin Weak little clues On a cold hard tray And that missing tape Won't go away He flips his notes Then drops his pen Stares at the bench And back again [Pre-Chorus] If the truth falls short He can feel it now Every little gap Gets louder somehow [Chorus] Missing footage Missing footage Can you hold this line? Missing footage Missing footage Not this time [Verse 2] Then defense stands up Slow, calm, clean Calls the first witness Dead center screen A hush hits hard Like glass on stone Now every answer Won't stand alone He leans in close As the questions bite One wrong turn now Could split the night [Pre-Chorus] If the truth falls short He can feel it now Every little gap Gets louder somehow [Chorus] Missing footage Missing footage Can you hold this line? Missing footage Missing footage Not this time [Bridge] One chair scrapes back One breath too near His pulse goes quick The end feels here The witness blinks The walls go still And every doubt Starts to fill [Final Chorus] Missing footage Missing footage Can you hold this line? Missing footage Missing footage Not this time Missing footage Missing footage Try and draw that line Missing footage Missing footage Truth will tell in time
