Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
I never thought I’d see it here
Not in my street, not in my country
But the walls are bleeding secrets
And I can’t unsee what I’ve seen
[Verse 2]
Five years gone, lost in the cracks
Career, my savings, nothing comes back
They said it’s me, said it’s in my head
But I smell the rot in the floor instead
[Verse 3]
I didn’t know this could happen here
Slumlords feeding off our fear
The system smiles while the bodies fall
And they tell me it’s nothing at all
[Chorus]
Are you listening, are you listening now?
I’m screaming loud but they’re shutting me down
Corruption dressed in a doctor’s coat
I won’t choke on the lies they wrote
[Verse 4]
Two ghosts walking the halls at night
Nobody asking who killed the light
Covered up stories, covered up crime
But I write the truth in these broken lines
[Chorus]
I never thought this was how it goes
The rot runs deeper than anyone knows
Abuse of power, built into stone
But I won’t go quietly, not alone
[Break]
I know the truth
You won’t break me
[Verse 5]
They said I was crazy
They said I was weak
But the cracks in the ceiling
Tell the story for me
[Verse 6]
I bite my tongue but the anger grows
The fire is burning, and everyone knows
This is the fight, this is the sound
I’ll never stop, I’ll never back down
[Break]
I know the truth
You won’t break me
[Verse 7]
I see it, I feel it, I name it, I bleed it
I’ve lost it all but I still believe it
You bury the truth, but the walls still scream
I’m tearing apart your broken machine
[Verse 8]
I’m not your victim, I won’t be erased
Your kingdom of lies will fall into waste
This is my anger, this is my cry
You can’t destroy me, I’ll never die
[Chorus]
Are you listening, are you listening now?
I’m still alive and I won’t bow down
Through the smoke I’ll burn what they broke
I won’t die with the lies they wrote
[Break]
I know the truth
You won’t break me
[Final Chorus]
Read between the lines, I’m still alive
Through the cover-ups, I will survive
My voice is fire, my heart won’t resign
I will not fall, this life is mine
[Outro]
I never thought I’d see it here
Not in my street, not in my country
But now I know, now I know
And I’ll never let it go
