[Verse 1] They said the world was smaller now They said we'd never be alone They said the world was smaller now That distance learned to bend That every voice could reach a voice And this was how it ends But I'm alone in the blue of a screen Talking to light and code No hands to hold, no eyes on mine Just signals on the road Just the hum of the wire (just the hum) [Chorus] They lied to us again Promised love through wires and light But silence fills the room And I'm drowning in the night Yeah, I'm drowning in the night [Verse 2] They said work would make us free That time would be our own But we work just to survive In rooms we die alone Jobs replaced the places where people used to meet Now we sit beside each other and stare down at our screens We traded touch for signals, skin for glass Built a life of speed and noise and let the moments pass No machine can hold me No code can feel my pain [Chorus] They lied to us again Promised love through wires and light But silence fills the room Can you hear me in the night? [Bridge] [dynamic drop, acoustic guitar and bass only] If loneliness is the war, then what have we become? If loneliness is the war, who are we fighting for? We smile under pressure, pretend that we're alright I can't breathe, we talk to things that cannot care We scroll until we fade, if we don't love, if we don't stay This is the price we pay Every home a quiet storm, every heart on mute We are millions breathing air but starving for the truth We were not made for endless grind or raising kids alone If we don't love, if we don't bond, the future has no home Not alone, not alone [Outro] They lied to us again But we rise, we break the chain Loneliness won't win When we say each other's names They lied to us again But we sing against the night We are more than screens and wires We are flesh and breath and light Yeah, we rise (ooh) We rise, we rise They lied to us again But we sing And we remain [End] © Quantum Soul 2025 All rights reserved
