We Were Never From Here

They say, “Fall in line, don’t ask too much”

“Keep your head down, don’t feel so much”

They say, “Fall in line, don’t ask too much”

“Keep your head down, don’t feel so much”

But I always knew I was built wrong

Heart too loud, soul too strong

I look around like, “Is this home?”

Same small talk, same dead tone

If this is normal, I don’t fit in

Guess that’s where the truth begins

I’ve tried to shrink, I’ve tried to blend

Painted my fire invisible

But every time I dim my light

Something in me screams: no

Maybe we’re the aliens

Walking in human skin

Too awake for their silence

Too real for their pretend

If loving deep’s a crime here

Then I’ll never belong

Yeah, maybe we’re the aliens

And that’s what makes us strong

They call us weird, they call us loud

Say we don’t think the “right” way out

But every system they protect

Was built on fear we don’t respect

We feel the cracks beneath the floor

Hear the lies they can’t ignore

If this world feels cold and strange

Maybe we’re the ones sent here to change it

I’ve worn their masks, I’ve played along

Smiled when it felt all wrong

But I won’t apologize

For seeing through the sky

Maybe we’re the aliens

Walking in human skin

Too awake for their silence

Too real for their pretend

If breaking rules means freedom

I’ll break them all day long

Yeah, maybe we’re the aliens

And that’s what makes us strong

What if we weren’t meant to fit?

What if we were meant to wake them up?

What if every scar we carry

Is proof we came here with a purpose, love?

I don’t need their permission

To be exactly who I am

If I scare them with my truth

Then I’ll scare them standing tall

Yeah, we’re the aliens

No place feels like home

But we light up the darkness

Wherever we roam

If this planet feels broken

Then maybe we’re the cure

Yeah, we’re the aliens

And we were never meant to be small

We were meant to be more

So if you’ve ever felt different

Like you landed here alone

You’re not lost, you’re not crazy

You’re just not from their old world

You’re not from here.

And that’s the point.
