THERE'S NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE.

[Verse 1]
They say, “There’s no smoke without fire,”
Whispers rising, climbing higher.
Just a rumour, just a spark,
But now I'm burning in the dark.
They point their fingers, nod their heads,
Repeat the words that someone said.
Truth’s a trial, not a choir,
But still they chant, “There’s smoke, there’s fire.”
[Chorus]
There’s no smoke without fire, they cry,
Even when the ground is dry.
They fan the flames with guilty breath,
And sentence me to social death.
No proof, no crime, just their desire—
To see the blaze, to feel the fire.
[Verse 2]
I walk alone through ash and fear,
The things I never did appear.
Their eyes are flames, their hearts are cold,
Their justice bought, their silence sold.
A lie repeated sounds like truth,
It takes the innocence of youth.
You say it once, then watch it grow—
A fire where no flames should go.
[Chorus]
There’s no smoke without fire, they say,
As facts and fairness fade away.
No judge, no jury, just the crowd,
Screaming guilt out loud and proud.
Their torches lit by one old liar,
Now I’m the smoke, they are the fire.
[Bridge]
Can you unburn a name once charred?
Can you forgive a world so hard?
Where silence fuels the cruel choir,
And echoes scream, “There’s smoke, there’s fire!”
[Final Chorus]
There’s no smoke without fire—untrue,
Sometimes the smoke is aimed at you.
So let the truth be what inspires,
Not just the crowd and their desires.
'Cause smoke can lie, and flames conspire—
Don’t light the match, don’t feed the fire.
