Pre-Chorus
They said, “Don’t trust your eyes too much,
Don’t trust your gut at all…”

Chorus
🎶 No wonder we’re so confused,
No wonder we lost the clues,
When the compass points to power
And the truth is breaking loose.
They sell us answers in capsules,
And questions in a suit…
With the world flipped inside out,
Baby, no wonder we’re so confused. 🎶

Verse 2
They studied us like specimens,
Behind a one-way screen,
Wrote the story for the ending
Before they’d seen the scene.
Said a six-year-old’s “disordered”
If they won’t sit still in class,
Said a broken heart’s a syndrome,
If the tears come out too fast.

Pre-Chorus
They said, “Normal is whatever’s trending now,
Reality’s a vote…”

Chorus
🎶 No wonder we’re so confused,
No wonder we’re black and blue,
When the rulebook keeps on changing
And they swear it’s nothing new.
They call belief a science,
And doubt a kind of abuse…
With the ground shifting every hour,
Baby, no wonder we’re so confused. 🎶

Bridge (Half Spoken / Half Sung – Cheeky Truth Drop)
Boy dressed up like a girl, girl dressed up like a cat,
Doctor says, “Don’t question that.”
Grief is a disorder, rage is a phase,
Truth needs ten approvals just to be named.
They sell us pills for emotions,
Then ask why we feel so numb…
If this is what progress looks like,
What the hell did we just become?

Final Chorus (Big, Lifted, Crowd-Ready)
🎶 No wonder we’re so confused,
Trying to stand in someone else’s shoes,
When the map is drawn by strangers
And the rules just self-improve.
We were born with eyes to see,
And hearts that already knew…
So if the world feels upside down,
Baby, no wonder we’re so confused. 🎶

Outro (Warm, Hopeful, Grounded)
But we’re not broken… just waking up,
Brushing the dust from the mirror again,
Turns out the truth was never that lost —
It was just buried under men.

Verse 1 They told us up was down in textbooks, Called the silence “peace of mind,” Put labels on our heartbreak, Said the fault was yours, not mine. Turned real pain into a pamphlet, Turned grief into a code, Put our childhood on the couch And blamed the wounded soul. Pre-Chorus They said, “Don’t trust your eyes too much, Don’t trust your gut at all…” Chorus 🎶 No wonder we’re so confused, No wonder we lost the clues, When the compass points to power And the truth is breaking loose.
