Lyric

Even the morning crows

Screech like static

In my soul

High pitched noise

Like a warning sign

In a world

That’s half asleep

We drift through

Worn out days

Just going

Through the motions

Common sense

Whose rules

Are those anyway

In this game

Only the yes men win

Smile like you mean it

Read the room

Bow your head

Break it all

Flip the world

Upside down

Eyes wide

I dive into

The crowded train

A parade of hollow faces

My voice gets

Drowned again

I want to scream

But swallow the pain

Don’t tell me to smile

I’m not your puppet

Your corporate toy

Stripped of emotion

Just another

Lifeless decoy

Where’s my truth

Where’s my choice

I won’t be

Your marionette anymore

My thoughts locked away

My voice forced to blend

Crushed by pressure

Masked in polite pretend

I gave my all

Broke my bones

This fake peace

I’m done with it

No more silence

I’ll tear it apart

And scream

Till my soul runs dry

This anger

I’ve buried so deep

No one gets to steal it

This voice is mine

Even tears hold power now

Real strength I finally see

Smiles uploaded for show

Fatigue filtered away

But where’s the truth

What does happy

Mean anymore

Painted lies fill

Every screen

Colorful, curated

Fake connections

Reset routines

Even our joy stored

In cloud machines

Exhausted hearts

Deleted clean

Weakness isn’t shame

It’s proof I’m alive

Tears aren’t loss

They’re the spark

Of change

From this silence

I will rise again
