[Intro – Sparse / Intimate]
Woke up to a screen, blue light on my face
Another bad headline, another bad day
Feels like I’m under it, pressure on my chest
Still here… yeah, I guess
⸻
[Verse 1]
Everybody flexin’ like they made it out
Half of us are drowning, just afraid to shout
Smile in my stories, crash in my room
Hundred fake voices, nobody true
They said “follow your dreams,” never showed the map
Rent due Friday, hope’s a luxury tax
We joke about dying like it’s nothing new
Turn pain into memes just to make it through
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
They tell us “be patient,” like time’s on our side
But time’s been stealing from us our whole damn lives
They want us quiet, tired, tame
But pressure turns sparks into flames
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m tired but I’m still breathing
Broken but still believing
There’s more than surviving till the weekend
Yeah, the world’s on fire, we can feel it
Screaming inside but we don’t mute it
We’re done being harmless—
We burn the silence
⸻
[Verse 2]
They feed us fear, then say “don’t speak”
Call it freedom, charge it weekly
Watched hope die in a headline scroll
Watched love get buried under control
I don’t want a throne, I just want sleep
I don’t need a mansion, I need peace
If standing up makes me the threat
Then say it loud—no regret
⸻
[Bridge – Half-Time / Spoken-Sung]
If breathing was survival
This is resistance
If hope was quiet
This is persistence
If you feel lost, you’re not alone
If you’re still here, that’s strength you own
(beat drops out)
We don’t need saving
We need a reason
We need a moment
To just be alive
⸻
[Final Chorus – Lifted / Anthem]
I’m tired but I’m still breathing
Scared but I’m still dreaming
They tried to numb us, tried to break us
But anger kept our hearts awake, yeah
Burn the silence, light it up
No filter left, no giving up
We’re not broken, just bending
Not dead—just healing
They tried to break us…
But look—we’re still breathing
⸻
[Outro – Fading / Resolute]
Still here.
No mute.
No silence.
