Lyric

Morning sun slips through the cracks

Smiles so fake, it’s all just acts

“Are you happy?” they ask, I laugh

Everyone hides their broken past

Ads sell dreams in shiny wraps

Friends online, just profile snapshots

Chasing goals on empty tracks

Climbing stairs that never go back

You say, “Freedom’s a beautiful thing,”

But my shoes know the weight life brings

Mirror talks, “You’re doing fine,”

Inside I laugh at this design

Neon nights, chains glow bright

Dancing like we own the night

TV feeds tell us to fight

Social feeds trade fake delight

Hope we hold slips through our hands

Trust too much, it never lands

Love too deep, they laugh, they tease

Life’s a joke, and we pay the fees

So here we are, in glass so high

Staring at the unseen sky

Swallowing sarcasm, walking past

Living trapped in the city of glass
