(Verse 1)

Morning breaks but the news drags me under again
Every damn day, hypocrisy screams louder than the truth
It’s the politics breaking this country, heavier than the dream I once believed

(Pre-Chorus)

The ground beneath me isn’t the place I thought it was

(Chorus)

Crimes in daylight, corruption in the halls
Justice is a whisper drowned by power’s calls
Everything has changed, the mask ripped away
I’m choking on the lies they feed us every day

(Verse 2)

The streets are bleeding stories no one wants to hear
Promises rot in the mouths of those who claim to lead
I’m clawing for hope in a nation built on broken glass

(Chorus)

Crimes in daylight, corruption in the halls
Justice is a whisper, drowned by power’s calls
Everything has changed, the mask ripped away
I’m choking on the lies they feed us every day

(Bridge)

Even in the ruins, a spark survives
Hope is the weapon that keeps us alive
(solo)

(Final Chorus / Outro)

Crimes in daylight, corruption in the halls
Everything has fallen, the mask ripped away
This is not the home I thought it was
This is not the land I thought it was
And I’m …choking, I’m still… choking… (fade)
