Can You Tell?

[Verse]
Heaven from shadows and whispers in the rain
Blue skies tangled with an aching pain
Green fields stretch where the wild wind wails
Smiles hidden under delicate veils
[Verse]
Did they ask you to barter dreams and wonder
Lightning storms for a soft
Distant thunder
Trade the night where the stars held sway
Erase the dawn with colorless gray
[Chorus]
Can you tell
Can you feel the change
When the world plays a sly and subtle game
Do you see the truth in the haze and the dark
Or watch it vanish with the final spark
[Verse]
Running through streets where memories meet
Chasing echoes of forgotten beats
Do your eyes see the tales they weave
Or just the shadows that others leave
[Bridge]
When they ask you to trade your fire inside
For walls where your heart might hide
Will you stand and let your true self ring
Or fade into what they bring
[Chorus]
Can you tell
Can you feel the change
When the world plays a sly and subtle game
Do you see the truth in the haze and the dark
Or watch it vanish with the final spark
