[Verse]
Empty halls echo with whispers so thin
Staff stretched like a thread that's about to give in
Clock ticks louder than the cries in the air
Who’s got the time to show they care?
[Chorus]
Skeleton crew running the show
Promises high but the pay’s so low
Hands tied
Hearts breaking
Where do we go?
In a house of care that forgot its soul
[Verse 2]
Behind closed doors where the sunlight won’t tread
Numbers matter more than the tears they’ve shed
Piles of papers but no one to read
A system that bleeds and calls it greed
[Prechorus]
Who counts the cost of a life undone?
When care’s a race and profits won
[Chorus]
Skeleton crew running the show
Promises high but the pay’s so low
Hands tied
Hearts breaking
Where do we go?
In a house of care that forgot its soul
[Bridge]
Call it business call it fate
Shiny smiles while the staff suffocate
Who do you blame when the roots are gone?
They’ll sell the tree but the forest moves on
