Filming A Crime

Verse 1:
Streetlights flicker like a dying alibi
Shadows crawl sideways, whispering “don’t ask why”
Phone in my hand, heartbeat on record
Truth in the lens but the truth gets ignored

Pre‑Chorus:
Every frame is shaking, every breath is tight
I’m capturing the moment they erase from sight

Chorus:
I’m filming a crime, and the world looks away
Click—another lie gets rewritten today
I’m filming a crime, but the guilty don’t bleed
They smile for the camera while they tighten the leash

Verse 2:
Sirens hum softly like a practiced excuse
Blue lights dancing on the neck of abuse
Crowds step back, but I’m locked in the view
If justice is blind, then I’ll make her see too

Pre‑Chorus:
Every frame is trembling, every truth is loud
I’m holding up a mirror to the comfortable crowd

Chorus:
I’m filming a crime, and the world looks away
Click—another lie gets rewritten today
I’m filming a crime, but the guilty don’t bleed
They smile for the camera while they tighten the leash

Bridge:
If the footage disappears, was the moment ever real
Or just another secret they’re paid to conceal
But I’ll keep rolling tape till the silence cracks
Till the ones in the shadows finally face the facts

Final Chorus:
I’m filming a crime, and the world looks away
Click—another truth gets buried in the fray
I’m filming a crime, but I won’t drop the scene
’Cause the lens never lies, even when the law leans
