Trust ain't just broken - it fades, quietly.
Traces of Doubt dives into that moment when words don’t match actions,
when silence speaks louder than promises.
Heavy 808s, raw vocals, no filters.
This one’s for anyone who's seen through the mask -
and decided they won't play dumb no more.

Lyrics:

Yeah
It’s not what you say, it’s what you do

Talk sweet but the vibe don’t lie
One eye open every time you slide
Words slick, but the truth too loud
You can’t hide traces of doubt
Nah… you can’t hide traces of doubt

You say it’s love, but your tone got ice
Movin’ real slick, like you rollin’ dice
Sayin’ you out, just chillin’ with friends
But your phone on mute and the story bends

I ain’t the type to press too hard
But the lies you tell got me on guard
You laugh it off, then flip the blame
Like I’m trippin’ — like I’m playin’ games

Funny how you always got the right words
But your footsteps don’t match what I heard
Truth don’t hide in the daylight loud
It creeps at night — in traces of doubt

You talk your way out, smooth as silk
But actions crack like broken guilt
Trust ain’t blind, it learns to see
What’s real, what’s fake — what’s meant to be
I gave you room, now I’m checkin’ the route
Feelin’ the shift… yeah, traces of doubt

You paint the picture, perfect and clean
But I see smudges behind the scene
A new excuse, same rehearsed tone
You’re next to me, but I feel alone

I let it slide, too many times
But now I replay those little signs
Every late reply, every nervous laugh
You speak in circles, try to dodge the facts

Funny how you always got the right words
But your footsteps don’t match what I heard
Truth don’t hide in the daylight loud
It creeps at night — in traces of doubt

Talk sweet but the vibe don’t lie
One eye open every time you slide
Words slick, but the truth too loud
You can’t hide traces of doubt
Yeah, you can’t hide traces of doubt

Go ‘head, act like I’m just overthinkin’
Like I’m dreamin’ up the things I’ve been linkin’
But silence ain’t peace — it’s distance in disguise
And I see more truth in your eyes than your lies

You talk your way out, smooth as silk
But actions crack like broken guilt
Trust ain’t blind, it learns to see
What’s real, what’s fake — what’s meant to be
I gave you room, now I’m checkin’ the route
Feelin’ the shift… yeah, traces of doubt

Doubt… doubt… traces of doubt
