[Intro]
Whispers in the hallway, masks in bright disguise
A spark behind a smile, a thief with hungry eyes
[Verse 1]
Deception dances softly on the edge of truth
A borrowed truth, a borrowed smile, a fleeting proof
Promises like paper-thin, flutter in the breeze
What’s spoken in the shadow rarely ever sees
[Pre-Chorus]
But I won’t burn this easy wick away
I’m tracing every word they say
[Chorus]
Deception then the truth arrives, cutting through the night
I’m chasing what’s behind the eyes that glitter in the light
If trust is a river, I’m testing every bend
Seeking an honest harbor in the stormy end
[Verse 2]
Footsteps echo secrets down a hallway run by lies
A mirror shows a softer mask that hides the knives
I’m learning every signal, every subtle cue
To find the honest heartbeat beating underneath you
[Pre-Chorus]
And I won’t fold when doubt starts to plead
I’m listening for the honest creed
[Chorus]
Deception then the truth arrives, cutting through the night
I’m chasing what’s behind the eyes that glitter in the light
If trust is a river, I’m testing every bend
Seeking an honest harbor in the stormy end
[Bridge]
When the curtain falls, I’ll rise to see the core
Beyond the clever lies, what I’m looking for
[Chorus]
Deception then the truth arrives, cutting through the night
I’m chasing what’s behind the eyes that glitter in the light
If trust is a river, I’m testing every bend
Seeking an honest harbor in the stormy end
[Outro]
So here I stand, between the words and what they mean
Waiting for the clear, for the space in between
