[Intro] Screens flare white across the room A thousand tongues arrive too soon [Verse 1] We stacked our names in glass and steel Built higher than the wounds we feel Every window threw a different face Every answer changed its shape We fed the lift with borrowed breath Turned every warning into text At the summit, no one heard the sound When the first bright brick came down [Pre-Chorus] Say my name through the fractured air Tell me somebody still is there [Chorus] We built a tower out of separate words Now every signal cuts and every meaning burns Hands reach up, but the message breaks We are falling through the choices we make No common tongue, no solid ground A thousand flags and a single town When the tower bends beneath the weight Will we speak before it is too late? [Verse 2] A child held up a paper sign The crowd translated it a hundred times One side saw a threat, one side saw a plea One side sold the image on a screen The feeds kept pouring through the night Red headlines dressed as warning lights We learned to win each little fight And lost the reason we were right [Pre-Chorus] Say my name through the fractured air Tell me somebody still is there [Chorus] We built a tower out of separate words Now every signal cuts and every meaning burns Hands reach up, but the message breaks We are falling through the choices we make No common tongue, no solid ground A thousand flags and a single town When the tower bends beneath the weight Will we speak before it is too late? [Bridge] Cut the feed Drop the screen Look at me Not the machine If your fear sounds different from mine That does not make your heart a crime Lay down the slogans, one by one Find the human under everyone [Breakdown] Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Past the sirens, past the blame We are more than what they named [Final Chorus] We built a tower out of separate words But one clear voice can stop the final turn Hands reach out, let the message hold Let the broken pieces tell what we were told No common tongue, no solid ground Still one pulse beneath this town When the tower bends beneath the weight We will speak before it is too late [Outro] Screens go dark across the room One human voice cuts through the gloom Say my name I’ll answer you
