DETECTIVE DAN

[Intro – police radio murmur, distant, filtered]
—Detective Dan, you on—
—another one came in—
[Verse 1]
They say your name like it carries weight
Like it’s steadier than most
You’ve seen worse rooms than this before
You don’t say it, but they know
You walk slow, eyes already tired
Hands never touch the sink
You read the room the way it lies
Before it starts to speak
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t ask what happened here
You ask what didn’t
[Chorus]
Detective Dan
You’ve seen this room
Different walls
Same shape of doom
No noise left
No fight to find
Just order sitting
Out of time
[Verse 2]
They tell you “excess force” again
Like that word explains the calm
You nod once, write it down
Knowing something’s wrong
You’ve chased monsters that wanted fame
You’ve chased ones that lost control
This one leaves nothing but answers gone
And rooms that won’t grow cold
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You know a signature
When it refuses to sign
[Chorus]
Detective Dan
You mark the date
Circle patterns
You can’t state
No weapon found
No witness breath
Just careful work
And certain death
[Bridge – restrained, ominous]
You’ve saved people before
You remember their names
You believe that matters
You believe it stays
But some truths wait
Patient, planned
For someone
Who still believes he can
[Final Chorus – heavier, controlled]
Detective Dan
This one’s clean
Too complete
To be unseen
You don’t say it
But you know
Someone meant
For this to go
[Outro – quiet realization]
Same room.
Different address.
