Deeper Than the Songs

The streets keep turning colder every yearWe watched the promises dissolve in the rainNo one left to blame when the lights go dim

Crowds move like shadows through the same old fightsChasing something bigger that was never thereWe traded all our fire for a safer kind of lieAnd the silence grows where the laughter used to live

I remember when we swore we'd never bendNow the weight of every word is wearing thin

We were sold a future that was already soldLeft standing in the ruins of what we were toldRebel hearts are fading but they won't stay quiet longThis disillusion cuts deeper than the songs

Faces in the windows look the other wayEvery revolution ends up on the same paradeWe built these walls from everything we used to trustAnd the empty rooms are louder than they ever were

We were sold a future that was already soldLeft standing in the ruins of what we were toldRebel hearts are fading but they won't stay quiet longThis disillusion cuts deeper than the songs

Maybe there's a spark beneath the tired skinMaybe we can tear another page again

We were sold a future that was already soldLeft standing in the ruins of what we were toldRebel hearts are fading but they won't stay quiet longThis disillusion cuts deeper than the songs

So we walk the line until the line gives wayOne last time we turn and face the gray
