Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Sirens outside Blue and red on the wall Cartoons still on the TV Kid’s room too small (yeah) [Verse 1] Walk past the swing set Chains rust, seats cracked Every kid got a secret Every smile got impact Teacher look the other way Phone screen glowing Twelve years old, in the bathroom stall Scars where the sleeves keep going Uncle at dinner Laugh too long, wrong hand Mom say “hug him, he’s family” Kid freeze, can’t stand Whole world yelling “grow up fast” While they tearing your childhood down You just wanted to draw in class Now you paranoid in your own hometown [Chorus] This world ain’t safe for children Monsters live in plain sight Doors locked but hearts stay open And that’s how they creep at night Little hands shake, they’re breaking Holding all that pain inside This world ain’t safe for children And we just call it “life” (why?) [Verse 2] News feed talk in numbers They count kids like clicks Name flash once on the bottom Then gone in the scroll so quick Counselor say “we’re listening” But they clock out at four Meanwhile there’s a kid on the rooftop ledge Writing “sorry” on the dorm room door Church clothes, school bus Same fear, new place Trust don’t mean protection It just means they know your face They tell you “speak up, be brave” Then blame you when you speak World built by broken adults And they call children weak (that’s sick) [Chorus] This world ain’t safe for children Monsters live in plain sight Doors locked but hearts stay open And that’s how they creep at night Little hands shake, they’re breaking Holding all that pain inside This world ain’t safe for children And we just call it “life” [Bridge] Who protects the soft ones? The shy ones, the small Who believe what you tell ’em Till you ruin it all If you hear them crying Don’t turn up the show If a kid say “something’s wrong” You believe them, bro (real talk) [Chorus] This world ain’t safe for children Monsters live in plain sight Doors locked but hearts stay open And that’s how they creep at night Little hands shake, they’re breaking Holding all that pain inside This world ain’t safe for children We either fight Or watch them hide
