[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, sun don't feel the same
Just another day surviving, trapped within this game
My mind's a battlefield, thoughts like shrapnel fly
Lost in the static, watching all the good just die
They scream 'bout color, creed, who you love, who you are
Another reason to hate, another senseless scar
Before you even speak, they got your whole life mapped
A target on your back, another soul entrapped
We barely breathing, just existing, ain't no living here
Drowning in the venom, soaked in apathy and fear
What's the point of difference, if it only sparks a fight?
Just another reason to extinguish someone's light.
[Chorus]
Caught in the crosshairs, my compass spun astray
Just drifting through the darkness, praying for a brighter day
Guns on every corner, fear in every single glance
Why bring new life to chaos, without a fighting chance?
This world's a madhouse, my spirit's losing grip
Feeling powerless to change it, just watch the whole thing slip
Higher ups deciding, while we crumble to the floor
Asking what's the purpose, when there's nothing left to fight for.
[Verse 2]
See the headlines blaring, another monster free to roam
Child abuser walks, while innocence can't find a home
How you gonna preach love, then tear a brother down?
Hate a soul you've never met, just cause they from a different town?
The internet's a cesspool, poison in the feed
Spreading lies and prejudice, planting bitter seeds
This planet's overheating, not just the climate, but the soul
Full of empty promises, losing all control
I watch the mothers pushing strollers, eyes filled with a weary plea
Wondering why they choose to raise kids, in this brutality.
Another generation born, into this endless war
When all we do is suffer, and there ain't no open door.
[Chorus]
Caught in the crosshairs, my compass spun astray
Just drifting through the darkness, praying for a brighter day
Guns on every corner, fear in every single glance
Why bring new life to chaos, without a fighting chance?
This world's a madhouse, my spirit's losing grip
Feeling powerless to change it, just watch the whole thing slip
Higher ups deciding, while we crumble to the floor
Asking what's the purpose, when there's nothing left to fight for.
[Bridge]
My soul is heavy, a concrete block inside
Nowhere left to run to, nowhere left to hide
They tell me stand up, speak out, make a difference, yo
But what's one voice against this undertow?
It feels like screaming into silence, no one hears the call
Just broken pieces scattered, after the bitter fall
I'm just a passenger, on a ship that's sinking fast
Watching all the pain unfold, knowing nothing's built to last.
Just waiting for the powers, the ones up in the sky
To make a move, a judgment, before we all just die.
