We the Broken

They tell me I'm free, but I feel like a number

Wake up each day with a chip on my shoulder

Look around and it's all burnin' down

But nobody hears a sound

They track every click, got us locked in a screen

But still call it freedom — man, what does that mean?

You scared to speak truth, they'll call you extreme

But silence ain't peace, it's just part of the scheme

AI's learnin' to lie better than men

And we scroll past war like it's just a trend

They say "trust the system," but I see the glitch

Land of the free? Nah, it's bait and switch

We the broken, we the bruised

We the ones that got nothin' to lose

Hearts wide open in a world that's closed

Still searchin' for truth in a land full of ghosts

We the fallen, we the flame

We the ones they could never tame

You can't cage a soul that's been through the fire

We the broken, but we're risin' higher

Cops afraid, kids depressed

Parents workin' just to live in debt

We fill the void with pills and screens

While real connection's just a meme

We lost our faith in institutions

All I see is masked confusion

They blame the people they made poor

Then lock the doors, and build new wars

It's hard to breathe with the weight of the lie

But I ain't bowin' down — I'd rather die

I've seen heaven in a junkie's cry

I've heard wisdom in a drunk man's sigh

Truth ain't clean, it's scarred and bruised

But it cuts deep when it speaks through you

We the broken, we the brave

We the ones they couldn't enslave

Voices rising like a storm inside

We ain't afraid to live or die

We the fighters, we the light

In a world that gave up the fight

You can't kill a soul that's found its fire

We the broken... we rise higher

You can censor the post, block the feed

But you'll never erase what's buried deep in me

I am not a number. I am not your fear
