Verse 1 They say “speak freely,” doors are open wide, But the walls remember every time you tried. You can name the crack, you can point at the seam, Just don’t expect a future if you wake the dream. They nod in the meeting, write notes in blue, Then promotion season never comes to you. Pre‑Chorus It’s not a muzzle, it’s a tone, Not a ban, just a colder phone. Say it loud, but say it clean— Or disappear in “not a team.” Chorus They say a system’s doomed if it can’t hear the truth, If it hides the fracture, sells comfort as proof. Well I see it clearly, ’cause I’m living inside, Where the rules contradict and the numbers all lie. You don’t silence voices, you teach them to bend— That’s how a system survives… till it ends. Verse 2 Equal on paper, uneven in cost, Mandatory dues for a gamble you lost. Save what you can, pay what you must, They call it responsibility, I call it dust. If you name the burden, they say “that’s just life,” Turn a structure of blame into personal strife. Pre‑Chorus It’s not unfair, it’s just the game, If you’re tired, that’s on your name. Everyone’s free, everyone’s fine— Just don’t compare the bottom line. Chorus They say a system’s doomed if it can’t hear the truth, If it hides the fracture, sells comfort as proof. Well I see it clearly, ’cause I’m living inside, Where the values are spoken but never applied. You don’t blind the people, you let them see alone— That’s how a system stays standing on bone. Bridge No chains, no guards, no locked‑down street, Just endless pressure and a smile that says “compete.” The trap isn’t force, it’s the quiet demand To survive by pretending you don’t understand. Final Chorus They say a system’s doomed when dissent disappears, But it’s worse when it’s here and punished by years. I’m not shouting from outside, I’m counting the cost, Of believing the promise and paying the loss. If this sounds like anger, it’s clarity earned— I live where the lessons are never unlearned. Outro I see it because I’m here, Not cynical—just clear. And clarity’s dangerous To a system built on fear.
