[Verse]
Neon signs flicker on a crooked street
Voices shouting where the lost souls meet
They got answers till the questions burn
Twist the truth and watch the tables turn
[Chorus]
They silenced him with a bullet
Couldn't face the words he said
Truth cut deep they couldn't pull it
Now they walk among the dead
Charlie stood taller than their lies could climb
[Verse 2]
Paper masks on hollow faces
Running scared in sacred places
Echo chambers filled with doubt
When the fire’s real they snuff it out
[Prechorus]
But a voice doesn’t die in the dark
It’s the flame lighting every spark
[Chorus]
They silenced him with a bullet
Couldn't face the words he said
Truth cut deep they couldn't pull it
Now they walk among the dead
Charlie stood taller than their lies could climb
[Bridge]
Ashes of reason scatter the wind
What’s left of honor when it’s pinned
Against a wall of coward's might
But shadows fade in morning light
