[Verse 1] We walk in single lines, heads down Feet sinking deep into the ground Mouths full of sand, no one resists We learned to suffer like this, silence [Instrumental Solo] [Pre-Chorus] We trade our voices just to belong Choke on dust, play along The silence feels like safety now But it was never ours to choose somehow [Chorus] Is this the price of fitting in? Swallow the hurt, bury the sin No one asks, cause no one can Cause all their mouths are filled with sand They’d answer if they even knew But silence taught them not to move If I scream, would anyone hear? Or just turn their backs and disappear? [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 2] We wear the same cracked, hollow face Erase ourselves to fit in place Learned to nod and never speak Even the strong forget they’re weak The sun burns down, we never stray Each step rehearsed, the same old way And if you dare to lift your head They'll all just look at you instead [Pre-Chorus] We trade our voices just to belong Choke on dust, play along The silence feels like safety now But it was never ours to choose somehow [Chorus] Is this the price of fitting in? Swallow the hurt, bury the sin No one asks, cause no one can Cause all their mouths are filled with sand They’d answer if they even knew But silence taught them not to move If I scream, would anyone hear? Or just turn their backs and disappear? [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] They watch with eyes that never blink Afraid to feel, afraid to think One wrong word, you're on your own You stand out, but stand alone Truth is heavy, shame is cheap So we bury it down deep We’d rather follow, numb and bland Than be the first to spit the sand [Instrumental Solo] [Chorus] Is this the price of fitting in? Swallow the hurt, bury the sin No one asks, cause no one can Cause all their mouths are filled with sand They’d answer if they even knew But silence taught them not to move If I scream, would anyone hear? Or just turn their backs and disappear? [Instrumental Solo] [Outro] Silent mouths and empty hands Lost in deserts made of sand We choke but never understand Why we all walk with mouths full of sand
