We All Break Down

[Slow burn intro with reverb instrumental reverb effects] [Verse 1] News feed flicker Scroll and swallow Someone’s crying In a fifteen-second frame Crowds in cages Packed like cargo More ocean plastic More acid rain You change the channel Call it “too much” Order takeout Let the silence hum I’m on the outside Behind the glass Counting cracks Where the edges come undone [Chorus] We all break down Just in different places Bathroom floor Or crowded stations In our cars On perfect vacations We all break down Just in different ways Private hell Public praise Hold it in Till something caves We all break down We all break down [lush synths playing in tandem, layered] [Verse 2] Young kids dancing Over rubble Lip-sync tears For another trend Homes on fire Turn to content Hit that like Call it “sending love” to them Gold gets higher Hearts get cheaper Lines get drawn By the ones who own the pen Whole streets drowning Under debt and data Every loss Is just a number we can bend [Chorus] We all break down Just in different places Bathroom floor Or crowded stations In our cars On perfect vacations We all break down Just in different ways Private hell Public praise Hold it in Till something caves We all break down We all break down [lush synths playing in tandem, layered] [Bridge] Couples fighting In the checkout line Quiet wars At a kitchen sink Old men yelling Into glowing glass Young girls fading For another click Who’s left watching When the feed runs dry? When the rich build walls To touch the sky When the last small voice Gets talked over loud I’m still here Just one more face in the crowd [Chorus] We all break down Just in different places Bathroom floor Or crowded stations In our cars On perfect vacations We all break down Just in different ways Private hell Public praise Hold it in Till something caves We all break down (we all break down) We all break down (we all break down) [Extended Outro]
