Not right

Verse 1

I wake up tired in a crowded room

Everybody talking, nothing true

Screens tell us who we’re supposed to be

But I feel something pulling at me

We smile on cue, we learn the lines

Trading our hours for borrowed time

I played the role, I wore the mask

But my soul kept asking back

Pre-Chorus

I tried to fit the shape they gave

Tried to stay calm, tried to behave

But there’s a voice I can’t ignore

Knocking heavy at my core

Chorus

Something’s not right

I feel it inside

We’re running in circles, calling it life

Something’s not right

I opened my eyes

You can’t unsee truth once it’s alive

Verse 2

They call it normal, they call it fate

But normal feels like a golden cage

We buy distractions, sell our fear

Say “one day” while the end is near

I don’t need idols, I don’t need lies

I need a moment that feels real inside

If this is winning, why do we ache?

Why does waking feel like a mistake?

Pre-Chorus

I tried to drown the questions out

But silence only screams more loud

Every step that I retrace

Leads me closer to my face

Chorus

Something’s not right

I feel it inside

We’re running in circles, calling it life

Something’s not right

I opened my eyes

You can’t unsee truth once it’s alive

Bridge (spoken / half-sung)

Maybe I’m not broken

Maybe I just woke up late

Maybe fear was never mine

Just a story we learned to play

If I fall, at least I fall awake

If I burn, let it be for something real

I’d rather feel the weight of truth

Than sleep through everything I feel

Final Chorus (lighter instrumentation, then full)

Something’s not right

I feel it inside

This isn’t living, it’s learning to hide

Something’s not right

But I’m alive

And I won’t close my eyes this time

Outro

I won’t close my eyes

I won’t close my eyes
