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
RAi
