[Verse 1]
We’re all just shouting through a screen,
Echo chambers raising steam.
Truth’s a trend and faith’s a meme,
And nobody’s who they seem.
We built our walls with hashtags high,
Sold our souls to pick a side.
The louder we yell, the less we try,
But no one asks the reason why.
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve all got flags we like to wave,
But none of us know what they save.
[Chorus]
We’re falling apart in surround sound,
Fighting to be the one that’s crowned.
We forgot what it means to be found—
It’s time we stand on common ground.
Different hearts, but the same hometown,
We bleed the same, just upside-down.
If we don’t fix it now, we drown—
Bring it back to common ground.
[Verse 2]
The news is just a boxing ring,
Pick your corner, take your swing.
We cheer the hate like it’s a team,
And call division “the American dream.”
We used to talk, now we just shout,
Point the blame and block it out.
We lost the plot, but not the doubt—
That’s not what this was all about.
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep the score but lose the game,
Different faces, same old shame.
[Chorus]
We’re falling apart in surround sound,
Fighting to be the one that’s crowned.
We forgot what it means to be found—
It’s time we stand on common ground.
Different hearts, but the same hometown,
We bleed the same, just upside-down.
If we don’t fix it now, we drown—
Bring it back to common ground.
[Bridge]
We can light the match or kill the flame,
But either way, it burns the same.
Take a breath, take a look around—
It’s not too late to turn it down.
[Final Chorus / Outro]
We’re falling apart in surround sound,
Let’s tune it out and settle down.
Remember what we used to sound—
Before we lost that common ground.
Different hearts, but the same hometown,
We’re better off when walls come down.
If we don’t fix it now, we drown—
So bring it back…
Bring it back to common ground.
