[Intro] [Whispered, spoken, piano only] Nobody says this out loud... So I will. [Verse 1] [Whispered, building tension] We share the pain, hit like, then drift away, trend it by noon, it's dead by end of day. Hand on the chest, we swear we care, but it's staged, we post, we preach, while the hurting stay caged. We mourn the dead from a couch, safe and warm, then lock the door on those who flee the storm. [Chorus] [Aggressive, voice cracking, heavy drums] Why are we such hypocrites? We talk the talk, we never commit. We cry for justice, then we quit. Why are we such hypocrites? [Verse 2] [Controlled rage, tense, fast flow] We shout "not one more," then judge what she wore, beg for mental health, then slam the door. Say "you're not alone," then watch you fall, call you weak for the cracks in the wall. We praise the ones who bleed without a sound, 'cause silence keeps our conscience safe and sound. [Chorus] [Louder, raw, emotional] Why are we such hypocrites? We talk the talk, we never commit. We cry for justice, then we quit. Why are we such hypocrites? [Bridge] [Spoken, shaky breath, minimal piano] And if you stayed silent, this one's for you... And for me. I saw it all, and I looked away too. [Final Chorus] [Broken voice, almost crying, then explosive] Why are we such hypocrites? Nobody's coming to save the day, so stand up now, or we fade away. Why are we such hypocrites? [Outro] [Whispered, fading piano] Nobody's coming... [End]
