Verse 1] Wishing you were normal, like everyone else, Instead you're in a prison, trapped inside yourself. Parents feeding the narrative to protect their chosen one, They’d rather raise a bully than see their kid on the run. It would be amazing if we could live by this rule, Treat others the way you want them to treat you! [Chorus] The playground is the battlefield, The halls are a maze. The classroom becomes a prison, Bureaucratic silence still remains. People hurting people, Both drowning underneath. Bully or broken… I just want to breathe. [Verse 2] We were just friends, not that long ago, What did I do so wrong? They just let me go. One moment to tears, scars that never fade away, After all these years, somebody’s gotta pay. The battlefield is real — can you hear the cry for help? Love each other… As you love yourself. [Pre Chorus] Cooties and germs is how it begins, Bully or broken is how it expands. [Chorus] The playground is the battlefield, The halls are a maze. The classroom becomes a prison, Bureaucratic silence still remains. People hurting people, Both drowning underneath. Bully or broken… I just want peace. [Bridge] A schoolyard bully and a school shooter too, One breaks your spirit… The other want to cut you in two! [Pre Chorus] Cooties and germs is how it begins, Bully or broken is how it expands. [Chorus] The playground is the battlefield, The halls are a maze. The classroom becomes a prison, Bureaucratic silence still remains. People hurting people, Both drowning underneath. Bully or broken… I just want to be free. I just want to be free. [Outro] It’s okay to breathe… It’s okay to breathe…
