[Verse 1]
They said the story’s over
Boxed it
Closed the file
Left a forest full of questions
Stretching mile on mile
Faces in the faded clippings
Never got a name
Whole lives pressed in margins
Lost between the frames

[Chorus]
Uncounted names
Still calling
From the dust of broken years
Justice left them in the shadows
Buried under doubt and fear
Uncounted names
We hear them
In the silence of the ground
Till every truth is spoken
We will not lay these flowers down

[Verse 2]
Two old cops kept talking
When the cameras turned away
Saw a pattern in the darkness
Tracing back for decades
Eighty echoes
Maybe more
Scattered through the past
Every rumor
Every warning
That no one chased
No one asked

[Chorus]
Uncounted names
Still calling
From the dust of broken years
Justice left them in the shadows
Buried under doubt and fear
Uncounted names
We hear them
In the silence of the ground
Till every truth is spoken
We will not lay these flowers down

[Bridge]
Who answers for the empty chairs
At birthdays
Weddings
Kitchen tables
Who signs off on “too hard to prove”
When grief is screaming
Raw and fatal
We don’t need a neat confession
We need courage
We need light
Every lead that died in darkness
Dragged back into sight

[Chorus]
Uncounted names
Still calling
From the dust of broken years
Justice left them in the shadows
Buried under doubt and fear
Uncounted names
We hear them
In the silence of the ground
Till every truth is spoken
We will not lay these flowers down
