[Verse 1]
I woke up in a room full of mirrors
Every face looked scared, every grin got thinner
Same old script, same fear in the system
Kids grow hard when the whole world dismiss them
I tried to reach out, tried to keep folks human
But hurt gets loud when the crowd keeps moving
Hands on the wheel, but the road keep splitting
I seen love turn cold in the blink of a minute
I got my own scars, I got my own weight
Can't patch every crack in a broken space
They want blood, want blame, want somebody to point at
I want peace, but the peace don't last
I seen my people fold under pressure
Brother on brother, and the noise get desperate
I keep a soft heart in a hard shell prison
Try to pull 'em up, but they hate the hand lifting
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it now
The walls coming down
I don't belong here
Not to stand and drown
[Chorus]
I'm leaving the matrix
I'm leaving the matrix
I can't stay here
Watch 'em break each other
I want to save them
I can't save everyone
I'm leaving the matrix
I'm leaving the matrix
[Verse 2]
I learned real quick, truth don't travel clean
It gets chewed up, spat out by the machine
Every little lie got a seat at the table
Every loud voice wanna sell that label
I was in the noise, then I heard my own pulse
Said "move while you can, don't get trapped in the crush"
I still see the ones with the weight on their faces
Kids with no map in a house full of cages
I pray for the lost, for the ones in the dark
For the ones who got hurt and forgot who they are
But I can't wear every storm like a cape
Can't carry the world if it tears at my faith
So I step back slow from the flame and the smoke
Keep my hands open, but I know what I know
Some doors stay shut, some souls need space
Some seeds won't rise till a different day
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it now
The walls coming down
I don't belong here
Not to stand and drown
[Chorus]
I'm leaving the matrix
I'm leaving the matrix
I can't stay here
Watch 'em break each other
I want to save them
I can't save everyone
I'm leaving the matrix
I'm leaving the matrix
[Bridge]
If I could take the pain, I would
If I could pull 'em out, I would
But a closed fist can't hold the sun
And a cracked soul can't save everyone
So I keep moving, I keep breathing
Keep one eye on the ones still reaching
When they ask why I had to go
I say I loved 'em enough to let 'em know
[Final Chorus]
I'm leaving the matrix
I'm leaving the matrix
I can't stay here
Watch 'em break each other
I want to save them
I can't save everyone
I'm leaving the matrix
I'm leaving the matrix
