[Verse 1] Streetlights flicker, something’s off Same old system, glitching soft Voices buried in the hum Now they’re rising, one by one [INSTRUMENTAL – delay guitar swell] Feel it shifting in the air Like a truth we almost shared Every silence getting thin Like the walls are closing in ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Not just me Not just you Something breaking through [BUILD – snare lift] ⸻ [Chorus 1 – awareness] We didn’t start this, but we feel the weight Cracks in the lines we were told were straight No way back, no clean slate We’re wide awake in the middle of the age ⸻ [INSTRUMENTAL – full band swell, hang drum pulse] ⸻ [Verse 2] Old foundations out of line Seeing it in real time Every fracture catching light Like it’s asking us to decide We were quiet, now we move Every doubt turning to proof What was buried in the noise Now is louder than the void ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Not just me Not just you It’s the shift coming through [BUILD – drums intensify] ⸻ [Chorus 2 – ownership] We didn’t build this, but it’s ours to take Hands in the fire, we can feel it break No way out, no time to wait We’re standing here in the middle of the age ⸻ [INSTRUMENTAL – driving guitars, delay repeat] ⸻ [Bridge – stripped] We didn’t choose this But we’re here now Feel it moving Through the crowd No more waiting No more doubt If it’s breaking We turn it now [BUILD – rising guitars, snare roll] ⸻ [Final Chorus – resolve / hopeful] We didn’t build it, but we hold the weight Feel it bending every line we trace Not backing down, we won’t fade We’re wide awake in the middle of the age
