When Life gives you Lemons [DnB Vers.]

[Intro (longer, revised)] Streetlights blur through tired eyes We walk past problems, telling ourselves lies News turns into background sound While real lives break all around We choose comfort over truth Hide behind something easy and smooth If it hurts, we turn away Convince ourselves it’s not our day [Verse 1] Eyes down, heads low, walking through the noise Cities screaming but we mute the voice Thumbs scroll fast through another disaster Empathy buffering, loading forever Concrete hearts in a digital cage Truth gets buried under trends and rage We trade the world for a glass display If it doesn’t touch us, we look away [Chorus] When life gives you lemons, you squeeze it to your eyes To wash away the pain of life We blind ourselves just to survive Headphones in, let the world outside die [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Notifications replace the screams Another crisis lost between memes We build our walls out of wireless sound Drown it all till there’s nothing around Mirror selfies, filtered lies We package pain so it looks just fine Disconnected, but always online Selling silence one swipe at a time [Chorus] When life gives you lemons, you squeeze it to your eyes To wash away the pain of life If we can’t see it, it’s not real If we can’t feel it, we don’t heal [Bridge] What if ignoring it makes us weak? What if silence is what keeps us asleep? We turn the volume up, push it down Pretend we don’t hear what’s all around [Outro (longer, revised – growth & responsibility)] Closing our eyes won’t make it stop The damage grows while we look away The world doesn’t break us to make us small It breaks us so we learn to stay We don’t grow by hiding from the weight We grow by facing it head-on By standing in what feels unsafe By choosing to carry on So take the headphones from your ears Look at the mess, look at the fear It hurts to see, but that’s the cost Of becoming more than what we lost
