Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Okay, so this is a story, not the kind that they teach in school
Where the heroes ain’t glory, and the villains make all the rules
Where the truth is a weapon, buried deep in the evening news
And the ones who see through it get labeled as “crazy fools”
(Pre-Chorus)
They told me silence is golden—then why’s it choking my breath?
I watched ‘em lie through their teeth, while we bled to death
Told us “freedom’s a gift,” then they sold the rest
Wrapped it up in red tape, and called it success
(Chorus)
This ain’t no fairytale, no knight on a white horse
Just a world set on fire, and no one to fight for it
We’re the ashes they sweep, the ones they forget
But I swear on this pain, I’m not done yet
(Verse 2)
They said “trust in the system”—well I trusted ‘til I broke
Now I’m picking up pieces of a flag wrapped around a joke
I ain’t bitter, I’m awake, and I see the strings they pull
A marionette show for the blind, but I ain’t their fool
(Bridge)
Every scar is a sermon
Every tear’s been earned
Every truth they’ve been burnin’
Is a page I turned
(Chorus)
This ain’t no fairytale, no knight on a white horse
Just a world set on fire, and no one to fight for it
We’re the ashes they sweep, the ones they forget
But I swear on this pain, I’m not done yet
(Outro)
So if you hear this story, don’t just let it fade
Sing it loud, like thunder—let the liars be afraid
‘Cause we’re still here breathing, still holding the line
And I ain’t giving up, not this time
