Verse 1 We learned to smile before we speak, To hide the things we really think. We choose our words, we watch our tone, And slowly forget our own. We built a world where no one’s wrong, Where every voice must sing along. We trade the truth to feel accepted, And call it being connected. Pre-Chorus We used to stand, we used to fight, Now we just avoid the light. Chorus We are the voices left unheard, The empty space behind the words. We are the faces in the crowd, Too tired to scream, too scared to shout. They gave us limits, gave us rules, Taught us how to play the fool. And every time we choose to hide, We lose a little more inside. Verse 2 They call it kindness, call it change, While everything becomes arranged. They tell us what we’re meant to feel, Then wonder why nothing feels real. We watch the honest disappear, Replaced by comfort, replaced by fear. A thousand people, a thousand lies, All wearing the same disguise. Bridge Where did the fire go? Where did we lose our voice? Did we give up our freedom, Or did we just forget the choice? Final Chorus We are the voices left unheard, The broken meaning in every word. We are the echoes fading out, The silent ones who lost their doubt. They can erase what we create, They can decide what we celebrate. But somewhere underneath the fear, A part of us is still alive in here. Outro No more pretending. No more excuses. We know what we became. We know what we’re losing.
