[Intro – soft, filtered, fading in]
Yeah…
We scroll, we breathe, we bleed
Like the world ain’t burning underneath our feet
(Still tryin’ to believe…)
⸻
[Chorus – merged + stronger]
The world’s on fire, but we still breathe
Actin’ like the smoke don’t cut this deep
We’re the broken generation
Still singin’ songs inside a dying earth
Screens show pain we don’t wanna see
Hearts turned cold from the apathy
Every generation says “it’s worse than before”
But this time… I’m not sure we’ll make it out anymore
Try to fix the world but the world won’t heal
Hope don’t hit the same when the pain feels real
⸻
[Verse 1 – merged storyline]
Mama said the world changed — yeah, but did it?
Feels like all the same demons still livin’
Different flags, same war, same killin’
New chains, same rules, same prison
Kids grow up with a phone not a childhood
Learn to fake a smile just to say they’re “fine”
Another headline, another body, another riot
“Thoughts and prayers” drown truth in quiet
We hit a wall but smile through the fracture
Tryna find joy while we live in disaster
Scrolling through pain like tragedy routine
Numb hearts beating in a world obscene
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – new hybrid]
Yeah, we’re tired of the lies they feed
Yeah, we’re young but we feel so ancient
Oh, we laugh ‘cause the tears run deep
Deep…
⸻
[Chorus – full version]
The world’s on fire, but we still breathe
Actin’ like the smoke don’t cut this deep
We’re the broken generation
Tryna heal a world that never learns
Light a match for inspiration
But everything we touch just burns
Every generation says “it’s worse than before”
But this time… I don’t know if there’s a cure
Try to fix the world but the world won’t heal
Hope don’t hit the same when the pain feels real
⸻
[Verse 2 – emotional build]
Politicians lie like it’s oxygen
History repeats like a toxic friend
Social media turn us to mannequins
Everyone pretend, no one genuine
People dying for approval and a dollar
Dreams get shot—no justice, just a holler
Everybody lonely with a crowd right beside ’em
Everybody searching for a peace they can’t find yet
But still…
I pray for the kids who believe
Pray for the hearts that bleed
Pray for the world that forgot how to feel
Pray for a wound that refuses to heal
⸻
[Bridge – poetic / dreamy]
Maybe we’re the spark in the ashes
Maybe hope is hide-and-seek with the masses
Maybe everything broken still passes
Maybe love survives all this damage
(Yeah… maybe us)
⸻
[Final Chorus – layered, climactic]
The world’s on fire, but we still breathe
Still tryna love while the world can’t heal
We’re the broken generation
Laughin’ through hurt that we’re forced to feel
Light a match for inspiration
Even if the whole sky burns
Even dying stars keep glowing
Even shattered hearts return
⸻
[Outro – whispered, fading]
Yeah… we’re broken
But we’re golden
Cracking open
Still unfolding
If tomorrow won’t change
Then today won’t either
But I’m still here…
Tryin’ to be a believer
