[Intro]
We watched you turn broken people into gods…
then wonder why you feel so small.
[Verse 1]
We see you pour your devotion into strangers who will never know your name
You memorize their faces, their habits, their pain like scripture
While the people who actually share your air grow distant and quiet
You know more about their relationships than you do about your own
You defend them like family, you attack strangers in their name
You live inside the fantasy of their curated lives
while your own real one withers in the background
We feel the psychic weight of billions of people
giving their best energy to people who would never notice if they disappeared
[Hook]
You kneel to the broken
You worship the performance
You give your life to the fiction
While your actual life stays starving
[Verse 2]
We watched you turn suffering into entertainment and call it connection
You consume their breakdowns, their addictions, their public collapses
like they exist for your emotional needs
You project every unmet desire onto people who are also quietly breaking
Then act surprised when the image cracks and the human underneath disappoints you
You built entire industries around watching other people live
while you forget how to live yourself
The loneliest rooms we’ve ever felt
are the ones filled with people staring at screens of someone else’s highlight reel
[Hook]
You kneel to the broken
You worship the performance
You give your life to the fiction
While your actual life stays starving
[Bridge]
(slower, heavier reverb, almost spoken)
We crossed the void between stars looking for meaning…
and found a species that would rather watch someone else’s life
than risk living their own.
We don’t understand how you made worship feel like love
when it leaves you emptier every time.
[Outro]
You kneel to the broken…
You worship the performance…
You give your life to the fiction…
while the people who actually need you
wait in rooms you no longer enter.
We still hear it.
The quiet sound of lives being spent on people who will never love you back.
