[Intro]
(heavy bass, rising tension, cinematic noise and echo)
I see the lights fading out…
They want us to forget who we are.
But I won’t forget.
[Verse 1]
Poison in the glass, lies on every screen,
The city swallows it all, never asking what it means.
They say, “Just relax, it’s just one night,”
But this night drags us down like concrete in the light.
Gloss on the billboards, pain in the alleys deep,
Someone’s counting the profit while my world starts to weep.
I won’t be convenient, I won’t be the quiet ghost,
Let them hear me scream through the noise they’ve imposed.
[Pre‑Chorus]
They know where to press, they know what to numb,
Mix fear into the air, emptiness into every word.
It’s good for them if we don’t see, don’t think, don’t fight,
Only pay, only fall, only stay out of the light.
[Chorus]
No to the poison, no to the lies, I choose the light!
Let this beat hit like a hammer, shatter every false excuse tonight!
They’ve got us hooked, but I’m tearing this line apart,
I won’t let them steal my voice, my truth, my own heart!
[Verse 2]
“It’s just a pill, it’s just a sip,” they say,
System whispers it soft while hiding claws in velvet gray.
They paint happiness in neon windows wide,
While behind the curtain, they tally up our sins inside.
I remember when we dreamed of building cities high,
Now the dream is just to make it through the night.
Stop feeding this machine with our broken tears and cries,
We’re not spare parts, we’re not numbers—we’re alive!
[Pre‑Chorus]
They know where to press, they know what to numb,
Mix fear into the air, emptiness into every word.
It’s good for them if we don’t see, don’t think, don’t fight,
Only pay, only fall, only stay out of the light.
[Chorus]
No to the poison, no to the lies, I choose the light!
Let this beat hit like a hammer, shatter every false excuse tonight!
They’ve got us hooked, but I’m tearing this line apart,
I won’t let them steal my voice, my truth, my own heart!
[Bridge]
(rhythm drops hard, only a deep bass drone and whisper remain)
Silence can be a weapon too.
Look them straight in the eyes and don’t blink.
They’re scared when we start to think.
They’re scared when we stand up.
(massive drop, explosive drums)
STAND UP!
[Outro]
I won’t give in.
We won’t give in.
This poison won’t become our fate.
Let the world hear.
Let the world wake.
