The Crowd We Blamed

V6

[Verse 1] Everybody talks nobody listens Borrowed opinions dressed up as convictions One little clip and they call it the truth No time for context just something to use Faces in windows names in a feed Everybody hungry for something to bleed One bad moment one careless line And suddenly strangers decide your whole life [Pre-Chorus] Say it louder say it fast Truth gets buried under the blast Tell me Is that what you think or what you were told? Did you choose that anger or just borrow the role? [Chorus] We built a world where the loudest survive Trading our names just to feel alive Everybody watching nobody sees We made the cage then swallowed the keys We point our fingers we draw the line Call it justice call it being right But every stone that we throw for free Comes back around to you and me [Verse 2] Numbers go up so the value goes with them Hearts on a screen and we worship the system Followers rise and a face becomes gold Fall out of favor and the story gets sold Yesterday hated today it gets praised Same empty outrage wearing a different face Everybody wants to be free from the crowd Then turns around and tells you how to stand out loud [Pre-Chorus 2] Same old script different name Everybody losing in the same old game Tell me If nobody listens what are we proving? If everybody shouts who is really moving? [Chorus] We built a world where the loudest survive Trading our names just to feel alive Everybody watching nobody sees We made the cage then swallowed the keys We point our fingers we draw the line Call it justice call it being right But every stone that we throw for free Comes back around to you and me [Bridge] No saint no villain Just a thousand little screens No truth no silence Only what the moment needs We keep feeding what we say we hate Then wonder why it never goes away [Final Chorus] We built a world where the loudest survive Selling our peace just to feel alive Everybody watching nobody sees We made the cage then swallowed the keys So keep your anger keep your pride Keep that perfect public side Sooner or later we all will see The crowd we blamed was you and me
