Smoke Don’t Lie, but I Do

I leave the ash where the truth should stay, Smoke tells the story I burn away. Eyes see clear through the haze I make, But I smile like it’s just a game I play.

(Male) Smoke don’t lie, but I do, (Female) It tells the things you’d never choose. (Together) Flames reveal what shadows knew, Smoke don’t lie, but I do.

(Male) My breath’s a trail of sins I hide, (Female) And I still see what’s locked inside. (Male) The truth is sharp, the tongue is sly, (Female) But smoke still rises when words deny.

(Male) Smoke don’t lie, but I do, (Female) I’ve tasted fire, I’ve burned with you. (Together) Flames reveal what shadows knew, Smoke don’t lie, but I do.

(Female) You hide your scars behind your grin, But smoke betrays the fire within. (Male – whispered echo) Ashes fall, but lies hold true… (Female – rising) I see the man behind the blue.

(Male) Smoke don’t lie, but I do, (Female) It cuts the night, it cuts right through. (Together) Flames reveal what shadows knew, Smoke don’t lie, but I do.
