Verse 1 From the fragments of a rejected future They wove a world that only belongs to them Inside the cage they call “what’s right” Tomorrow no longer belongs to anyone Invisible chains tighten around my throat Swallowed by the lie they name “normal” In a city where eyes that abandoned dreams still smile There was never a place for me from the start Pre-Chorus Every future I ever drew Gets erased for someone else’s convenience The words “it can’t be helped” Pierce me like the last kindness left Chorus Standing on top of a rejected future In their beautiful world that only they own But my future is nowhere No matter where I search, it’s nowhere In this night where the light was stolen I just hold my breath, all alone Verse 2 Crushed by the gears of the system Even my name turns into just another number The mouths that smile and say “keep going” Are the ones that close the future most cruelly Can you hear the quiet screams Of everyone who was never chosen? This city already belongs only to them We are nothing more than shadows Pre-Chorus Every future I ever drew Gets erased for someone else’s convenience The words “it can’t be helped” Pierce me like the last kindness left Chorus Standing on top of a rejected future In their beautiful world that only they own But my future is nowhere No matter where I search, it’s nowhere In this night where the light was stolen I just hold my breath, all alone Bridge If a real future still exists Why does it feel this cold? If real hope still exists Why does my chest hurt this much? Final Chorus Standing on top of a rejected future In their beautiful world that only they own But my future is nowhere No matter where I search, it’s nowhere Still, I reach out my hand Even if no one can see it In this rejected night I am the only one still alive
