(Intro - A slow, slightly detuned acoustic guitar chord repeats, creating a tense atmosphere. MARCUS introduces a nervous, fast high-hat beat.) (Verse 1 - ELI, Measured, Intense Rap Flow) Yeah, they gave us the house key, they gave us the car But they left the engine running, running straight to a mar It wasn't a choice, it was a data download at birth I'm running software built on generational hurt See the photos on the mantel? Perfect smiles, perfect lie They never said the panic was the reason that they cried They packed their suitcases full of problems they never faced And unpacked the symptoms in my body, taking up space I'm fighting battles that were finished decades ago A perfect little copy of the chaos they didn't show (Pre-Chorus) The ghosts of their mistakes are sleeping in my bed Loudest in the silence, ringing in my head They taught us how to breathe, but forgot to teach us calm Now I'm braced for the thunder every time they drop a bomb (Chorus) This isn't my fear, it's just my Inherited Anxiety A silent, screaming legacy from their lost society I'm living out the trauma they were too scared to name Passing down the panic like a wildfire, like a flame Yeah, I got their eyes, their jawline, and their tendency to break We didn't just grow up, we just grew up on their mistakes (Verse 2) You told me "be stronger," told me to "just shake it off," But you were giving me symptoms, masked inside the cough Every nervous habit, every slammed door in the night Was just a lesson plan in how to lose the fight We're tracing all the lines back, through the therapy room Realizing we inherited a generational gloom They built the walls so high, they thought nobody saw But the fault lines they ignored are running through my core It's the credit card debt, the anger they never spoke It's the permanent tension of a promise they broke (Pre-Chorus) The ghosts of their mistakes are sleeping in my bed Loudest in the silence, ringing in my head They taught us how to breathe, but forgot to teach us calm Now I'm braced for the thunder every time they drop a bomb (Chorus) This isn't my fear, it's just my Inherited Anxiety A silent, screaming legacy from their lost society I'm living out the trauma they were too scared to name Passing down the panic like a wildfire, like a flame Yeah, I got their eyes, their jawline, and their tendency to break We didn't just grow up, we just grew up on their mistakes (Bridge) And what do we do when it's our turn to leave the table Do we pack the same fear? Do we rewrite the fable Or do we just crash the simulation and break the cycle? Break the cycle! (Chorus) This isn't my fear, it's just my Inherited Anxiety A silent, screaming legacy from their lost society I'm living out the trauma they were too scared to name Passing down the panic like a wildfire, like a flame Yeah, I got their eyes, their jawline, and their tendency to break We didn't just grow up, we just grew up on their mistakes
