Would You Want to Know

A world built on colors you chose

Soft—filtered light through a window that glows

You hum to the song, you dance in the rain

Never hearing the rot in the refrain

But somewhere behind the curtain fall

A shadow creeps along the wall

Would you want to know

If the truth was cruel and cold?

Would you light a match

Or let the silence hold?

If the sky you trusted started to crack

Would you still look up, or turn your back?

Would you want to know

Or let the lie be whole?

I carry a truth I can't unhear

It echoes at night when no one is near

It haunts like a scar I hide from view

And I don't want to pass it on to you

Is it kinder to stay in dreams

Or braver to tear the seams?

If the truth can't change a thing

Is it still worth echoing?

Would you want to know

Even if it breaks your trust?

Would you walk through fire

Or let the ashes turn to dust?

If your hero had a hidden face

Would you still believe in grace?

Would you want to know

Or would you let it go?
