[VERSE 1] I was born owing something Before I spoke my name Before I knew the rules Before I learned the game Everyone running somewhere Nobody asking why Trading away tomorrow Just to survive tonight [CHORUS] From debt to death We’re told that’s just the way it goes From debt to death Carry the weight until we’re ghosts But somewhere underneath the noise A different truth still breathes There has to be more to life Than debt to death [VERSE 2] I watched the years disappear Into bills and obligations Dreams becoming numbers Numbers becoming nations The rich get richer on paper The poor get older in line Everybody chasing time While time leaves us behind [CHORUS] From debt to death We’re told that’s just the way it goes From debt to death Carry the weight until we’re ghosts But somewhere underneath the noise A different truth still breathes There has to be more to life Than debt to death [BRIDGE] Maybe we forgot What made us alive Maybe we traded wonder For the promise we’d arrive Maybe the finish line Was never really there Maybe the things that matter most Can’t be bought anywhere [SOFT CHORUS] From debt to death It doesn’t have to end this way From debt to death There has to be another way [FINAL BUILD] I am more than what I owe More than numbers on a screen More than fear More than scarcity More than someone else’s dream I am more I am more I am more [FINAL BREAKDOWN] NO MORE LIVING JUST TO PAY NO MORE GIVING LIFE AWAY NO MORE CHAINS WE CANNOT SEE NO MORE OWNING WHAT SHOULD BE FREE NO MORE FEAR NO MORE DEBT NO MORE BOWING DOWN YET WE WERE BORN FOR SOMETHING MORE THAN THIS THAN THIS THAN THIS [OUTRO] When the balance sheet is gone When the markets finally sleep The things we’ll remember Were never the things we keep
