[Verse 1] We scroll past the suffering, thumb numb, glazed eyes Livin’ in a highlight reel stitched from fake lives Data mined minds, dopamine pipelines Sellin’ souls in installments—prime time lifelines Truth get shadow-banned, buried in the feed While the algorithm harvest every insecurity We don't talk about the debt dressed as luxury Or the quiet desperation hidin’ under “I’m good, G” Yeah— Mental health memes but nobody checks in We normalize collapse, call it “just stressin’” Work ‘til you break, then replace your position Grind culture gospel—modern-day prison Politicians posture, profit off division Turn pain into policy, sell it as religion We don’t talk about the kids learnin’ fear early Lockdown drills feel a little too real—don’t they? [Pre-Chorus] Say it louder if it makes you uncomfortable Truth don’t trend ‘cause it ain’t marketable We keep quiet just to keep it functional But silence got a body count—it's measurable [Chorus] We don’t talk about it—no, we bury it deep Under bills, under thrills, under lies we keep We don’t talk about it—no, we numb the disease While the world burns, we just scroll and breathe Say it, say it—break the illusion Face it, face it—this confusion If the truth cuts and bleeds, let it bleed through me I’d rather feel pain than the apathy [Verse 2] We don’t talk about the cost of “free speech” When your voice gets flagged if it don’t fit the reach Or the echo chambers buildin’ digital walls Where we scream at reflections and call it “debate halls” Facts get fractured, twisted in a headline Truth becomes a casualty of deadline deadlines Narratives crafted just to keep us divided While the ones in power stay comfortably quiet Yeah— We don’t talk about the pills in the cabinet Prescribed just to cope with the weight of the narrative Or the student debt chains draggin’ behind dreams Future sold cheap to a system that schemes We don’t talk about the streets that are redlined Or the prison pipelines built by design Or the workers gettin’ crushed under corporate ladders While the CEOs cash out, untouched by the shatter [Pre-Chorus] If honesty’s a threat, then I’m armed to the teeth With every hidden headline that they don’t want me to read If truth is a risk, then I’m jumpin’ headfirst ‘Cause a comfortable lie is a slow kind of curse [Chorus] We don’t talk about it—no, we bury it deep Under bills, under thrills, under lies we keep We don’t talk about it—no, we numb the disease While the world burns, we just scroll and breathe Say it, say it—break the illusion Face it, face it—this confusion If the truth cuts and bleeds, let it bleed through me I’d rather feel pain than the apathy [Breakdown] Mask on society, fractured sobriety Drownin’ in irony, feedin’ anxiety Clickbait calamity, profit from tragedy Turnin’ humanity into a strategy Numbers over names, we statisticified pain Dehumanized lives just to monetize gain Every outrage cycle got an expiration date Till the next one drops and we recalibrate We don’t talk about the climate clock tickin’ Or the quiet extinction that nobody’s mentionin’ Or the water runnin’ dry while the billionaires build Private escapes from the damage they sealed [Chorus] We don’t talk about it—no, we bury it deep Under bills, under thrills, under lies we keep We don’t talk about it—no, we numb the disease While the world burns, we just scroll and breathe Say it, say it—break the illusion Face it, face it—this confusion If the truth cuts and bleeds, let it bleed through me I’d rather feel pain than the apathy This an open wounds broadcast—tune in, don’t sleep.
