[Intro] The world used to shine Now it burns in grey I close my eyes And wish it all away [Verse 1] Trapped in today, no light in my chest Every step forward feels like regret Smoke in the sky, ash on my tongue The warmth is gone, the good days are done Lost in a maze of rust and wires Hearts go cold, but the flames rise higher They sold us dreams, now they sell decay And we still march through the end of days The streets are quiet, the truth is dead I see the past like a ghost in my head I scream at the sky — “Take me back!” Before the world turned to black [Chorus] Bring me back to the good days Before we lost our way When hearts were strong, and skies were clear Not poisoned and betrayed Let me feel the sun again Let me breathe Let me breathe, not break [Verse 2] Bring it up now — I’m done pretending This peace is fake, this world is ending No gods, no hope, no second chance Just blood on the teeth of the last dance Wolves in suits with hands like knives Feed on the weak to keep their lives Chained to a screen, we die inside Born to kneel, but I choose to rise Rip this silence, break the calm Throw a fist through the heart of the bomb Light the match, let the system fall We’re not machines — we were meant to brawl Storm the gates, break their grip This is rage — not politics In the pit, we find what’s real Hands up, heads low, swing to kill [Bridge] Is this our lives for now on Screaming to something but nothing's there Please give us hope Ripping out the lives of the future Bring us our past The past gave us hope Living in dread and misery Please give us (HOPE) [Breakdown] I’d trade my soul to leave this place Tear me out, erase my name No more lies, no more chains Bury today — let the past remain [Final Chorus] Bring me back to the good days Before the world was dead When we still felt alive inside Not lost inside our heads Let me breathe the open sky Let me feel again Let me breathe (Let me be) Let me breathe, (not break) [Outro] If this is the end Let it fade like a dream Where the stars still shine And the world was clean
