Verse 1:
In a world of steel and chrome,
Lost between the light and dark,
Whispers drown in digital tones,
Searching for that missing spark.
Chorus:
Can you hear me through the noise?
Where's the heart amidst the machines?
Fighting for a voice to rise,
In a place where nothing's as it seems.
Verse 2:
Faces blending into gray,
Minds consumed by plastic dreams,
Shadows of what we can’t convey,
Life reduced to pixel streams.
Chorus:
Can you hear me through the noise?
Where's the heart amidst the machines?
Fighting for a voice to rise,
In a place where nothing's as it seems.
Bridge:
And the clock ticks, thoughts collide,
As we march in endless lines,
Searching still for something real,
In a world that’s lost its signs.
Verse 3:
The weight of dreams we cannot bear,
Cloaked in expectations’ guise,
Breaking free with every breath,
Refusing to wear their lies.
Chorus:
Can you hear me through the noise?
Where's the heart amidst the machines?
Fighting for a voice to rise,
In a place where nothing's as it seems.
Outro:
So here I stand, a voice in the crowd,
A spark of life, lost yet found,
Living proof that we can stand,
In a world that wants to drown.
