We don’t rot, we’re taught to wait, Breathing fear they call it fate. Say it’s peace, say it’s control, But I still feel my beating soul. Hands up high, eyes down low, This isn’t living, this is slow. They call it safety… drip it slow. ’Til the tongue forgets air and the taste of truth. If we don’t question, we only survive. If we don’t swallow, we stay alive. Zombies walking… no graves in sight. Fed headlines like holy wine, ’til panic feeds pure obedience. Still alive, still in line, Still swallowing borrowed time. No grave dug, no blood shown, Just a nation learning how to moan. Say my name, say I’m free, Say it enough, I might believe. We don’t rot, we’re taught to wait, Breathing fear they call it fate. Say it’s peace, say it’s control, But I still feel my beating soul. Hands up high, eyes down low, This isn’t living, this is slow. They sell the cure in borrowed breath, Stamp the lie with approved ink. Teach us fear is common sense And thinking’s how the weak ones sink. Screens glow blue like altar flames, Hands up, palms open, empty eyes. Truth gets flagged, erased, reframed, While silence learns to wear a smile. Sleepwalk prayers through wired veins, Pulse synced up to scripted dread. Not dead enough to call it death, Just trained to kneel, not trained to live. We don’t rot, we’re taught to wait, Breathing fear they call it fate. Say it’s peace, say it’s control, But I still feel my beating soul. Hands up high, eyes down low, This isn’t living, this is slow. Still alive, still in line, Still swallowing borrowed time. No grave dug, no blood shown, Just a nation learning how to moan. Say my name, say I’m free, Say it enough, I might believe.
