(Verse 1)
You sit behind your glowing screen
Cold blue light, no soul, no dream
Watch a man bleed out his truth
Watch a mother fight for youth
Hear the scars inside her song
Know damn well this world is wrong
But your silence hits like stone
Makes the wounded feel alone
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, everybody’s got a voice
But nobody wants the noise
Till the fire hits their own front door
(Chorus)
You turn away like ghosts in the crowd
Too numb to care, too scared too loud
Thumbs down, thumbs up — hell, anything at all
But you hide behind your empty walls
We’re out here trying just to heal
Trying to make this broken world feel real
For the children standing next in line
But you can’t spare a second of your time
(Verse 2)
You watched the whole damn video through
Every word was aimed at you
Saw the pain, the fight, the climb
Still couldn’t leave a single line
No heart beat beneath your skin
Just another drive-by grin
Feeding off what others give
Never helping dreams survive
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, I always raise the fallen up
While you drain the final drop
Then vanish when it’s time to stand
(Chorus)
You turn away like ghosts in the crowd
Too numb to care, too scared too loud
Thumbs down, thumbs up — hell, anything at all
But you hide behind your empty walls
We’re out here trying just to heal
Trying to make this broken world feel real
For the children standing next in line
But you can’t spare a second of your time
(Bridge – Half-Time / Screamed)
What happened to humanity?!
What happened to loyalty?!
You consume, consume, consume —
Then leave creators buried in the tomb!
We scream for change!
You scroll away!
We fight for hope!
You look the other way!
(Guitar Solo)
(Final Chorus)
You turn away like ghosts in the crowd
Dead-eyed kings without a sound
One little word could save a soul tonight
But you’d rather fade back into the light
Still we rise through all the shame
Still we burn though no one came
And when the future asks who stood and cared
They’ll know damn well we were there
(Outro)
Yeah… we were there.
While you watched in silence.
