[Verse 1]
Dust in my teeth
name on my tongue
I dig with my hands
’til my fingers go numb
Phone in my pocket
no signal, just heat
Your shoe in the ashes
your picture by my feet
[Pre-Chorus]
How many times did they say
“this block was clear”
How many names on the list
never lived here
[Chorus]
I’m calling out through the smoke
one more time, one more time
Every stone that I move
feels like yours, feels like mine
Sirens sing over truth
but I hear you in the grind
I’m searching for my family
in a world that’s blind
[Verse 2]
Hospital windows
blown out like lungs
White sheets turned gray
from the grit on my thumbs
They said “safe zone”
printed right on the map
Then turned the sky metal
and folded it back
[Pre-Chorus]
They shattered the wards
while the beds were still warm
They circled the schools
like a gathering storm
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
They boxed us in, fenced the sea
cut the power, cut the wheat
Blocked the trucks at the gate
counted calories, measured fate
Bombed the news, silenced eyes
called it law, wrapped in lies
If this is order, if this is right
why am I alone in the dark with this light
[Chorus]
