Camouflage and deception: [Verse 1] She knew that six-string was more than wood and wire It held the songs I never dared to sing She traced the frets like secrets on my skin Then vanished in the morning with everything [Pre-Chorus] I searched the canyon for her tracks But love leaves no prints in the sand [Chorus] Camouflage and deception She blended into my affection Took my first guitar, left me with silence Now I strum the wind for some kind of guidance Smoke signals rising, but no one’s replying She stole my sound and left me trying She left me sending Smoke Signals Till they just became dust in the wind of my mind... Smoke signals Smoke signals [Verse 2] I bought a second-hand six-string in El Mirage But every chord still echoed her goodbye I played through dusk, through dust, through doubt But the notes just curled and faded in the sky [Verse 3] Then came the lightning—cracked through the storm A guitar with fire in its veins, born to transform I plugged it in, let the thunder speak And found my voice in every shattered streak [Final Chorus] Camouflage and deception She blended into my affection But this lightning guitar burns through the silence No more smoke signals, just electric defiance She stole my sound, but I found my fire Now I play for the ghosts, and I never tire
