Verse 1 I traced the cracks beneath the city lights, Counted every lie they sold as paradise. They tell me everything is just the market's hand, But every road I walk feels carefully planned. The skyline smiles while the shadows feed, Buying every heartbeat with another need. The future wears a polished suit tonight, Selling hope that's wrapped in borrowed time. Pre-Chorus Who keeps pulling every wire? Who keeps throwing us into the fire? Every answer hides another scar, I don't even know who we are. Chorus We're screaming into broken satellites, Watching all our dreams fade into white. If freedom's just another price to pay, Then who signed our lives away? Every heartbeat chained to borrowed gold, Every promise bought and sold. If we're only numbers in their game, Then burn my name... Before they own it all. Verse 2 They built a kingdom out of fear and debt, Every generation paying someone else's bets. The headlines change but the ending stays, Another crisis wearing a different face. I hear the whispers underneath the news, Truth gets buried where the rich men choose. Maybe I'm just chasing ghosts tonight, But every shadow looks the same in the light. Pre-Chorus Every empire needs another fall, Every giant needs a bigger wall. Every answer disappears in smoke, How much more before we choke? Chorus We're screaming into broken satellites, Watching all our dreams fade into white. If freedom's just another price to pay, Then who signed our lives away? Every heartbeat chained to borrowed gold, Every promise bought and sold. If we're only numbers in their game, Then burn my name... Before they own it all. Bridge I won't bow. I won't disappear. I won't trade my soul for borrowed years. If tomorrow comes wrapped in chains, I'll tear them apart with these shaking hands. You can own the skyline. You can own the banks. You can own the headlines. But you'll never own... My voice. Final Chorus We're screaming till the skyline breaks, Bleeding through the lies they manufacture. If the world's just one more puppet stage, I'll rip apart the masquerade. Every heartbeat still refuses control, Every scar reminds me I've got a soul. Even if the whole world falls apart... You'll never rewrite... Who we are.
