[Verse 1]
[Dark restrained vocal]
Neon bleeds across the glass
Like the night’s running out of gas
Apartment walls as thin as ghosts
Everybody breaking slow
Headlights drift through parking lots
Like prayers that never reached the top
Every stranger passing by
Dragging storms behind their eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
[Low harmony]
Different wounds, same rusted veins
Different names for the same pain
[Chorus]
[Explosive emotional vocal]
We’re not the only ones
Sleeping with the shadows on
Not the only cracked machines
Trying to keep running strong
Every heart’s a burned-out wire
Every soul fights something silent
All these sparks beneath the skin
Dying just to glow again
[Ad-libs: “hey…”, “still burning…”, “ohhh”]
[Verse 2]
[Heavy ambient guitars]
Hospital blue and motel gold
Voices fading through the smoke
Some count scars like tally marks
Some lose whole years in the dark
Rainwater crawling down the street
Like every city learned to bleed
And all these faces in the crowd
Carry graves they don’t speak about
[Pre-Chorus]
[Layered harmony build]
Everybody hides a war
Behind closed teeth and bedroom doors
[Chorus]
[Full-band lift]
We’re not the only ones
Trying not to come apart
Not the only sinking ships
Still circling the dark
Every halo gathers dust
Every dream begins to rust
All these ghosts we drag around
Still begging to be found
[Ad-libs: “come on…”, “not alone…”, “still here…”]
[Bridge]
[Half-time, intimate vocal]
Maybe suffering’s a language
Everybody understands
Smoke rising from the rooftops
Like signals in the dead air
[Harmony swell]
Maybe all these shattered pieces
Only look alone at night
[Final Chorus]
[Huge emotional climax]
We’re not the only ones
With earthquakes under our skin
Everybody’s balancing
Between collapse and giving in
If the whole world lost its mask
We’d see the same cracked glass
Different lives, different scars
Same darkness in our stars
[Outro ad-libs: “same stars…”, “still burning…”, “not the only ones…”]
