World On Mute

Intro – whispered / atmospheric

Yeah...

Sometimes I look outside

And I don't recognize the world anymore...

Everybody's screaming,

But nobody's listening.

Saundo...

Verse 1

I woke up to another headline, another tragedy,

Another mother crying asking God for clarity

Prices going up but the paycheck stays the same

Everybody chasing money while they're drowning in the pain

Screens full of anger everybody picking sides

Friends become strangers over something they typed online

Millions of connections but we're lonely in a crowd

Everybody wants attention nobody wants to hear it out

Kids growing up watching things they shouldn't see

Dreams getting smaller from the weight of reality

We say that we're okay but I know that's a lie

There's a storm behind the smile we hide inside

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know where we're going

I just know we're getting tired

Every day another warning

Every heart another fire

Can somebody tell me

There's a reason to believe

'Cause the world keeps taking

Everything we need

Chorus

We're living in a world on mute

Screaming but nobody hears the truth

Everybody's hurting everybody's bruised

Tell me what are we supposed to do

When the sky turns black

And the lights fade out

Would you hold my hand

When there's no way out

We're living in a world on mute

But I'm still calling out to you

Drop

Ohhh-oh-ohhh

We're still alive

Ohhh-oh-ohhh

Don't let us die inside

Verse 2

Another war somewhere across the ocean

Another family praying for a little peace and hoping

Politicians talking while the people pay the price

Everybody wants the throne but nobody wants the sacrifice

Climate getting hotter oceans getting higher

Watching all the warning signs while we're feeding the fire

Everybody scrolling past another broken heart

How did we get so good at falling apart

aey eye getting smarter humans feeling numb

Technology connects us but we're further from someone

Can send a message halfway around the earth

But can't tell the person next to us that we know what they're worth

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know where we're going

I just know we're getting tired

Every day another warning

Every heart another fire

Can somebody tell me

There's a reason to believe

'Cause the world keeps taking

Everything we need

Chorus

We're living in a world on mute

Screaming but nobody hears the truth

Everybody's hurting everybody's bruised

Tell me what are we supposed to do

When the sky turns black

And the lights fade out

Would you hold my hand

When there's no way out

We're living in a world on mute

But I'm still calling out to you

Bridge

Maybe we're not broken

Maybe we're just scared

Maybe all this darkness

Is a sign that somebody cares

If you're feeling hopeless

If you're barely getting through

Just know you're not alone

I'm hurting too

Build

Don't give up

Don't give up

Don't give up on me

Even when the whole world falls apart

Don't give up on your heart

Drop

We're still here

We're still breathing

We're still fighting

We're still dreaming

Final Chorus

We're living in a world on mute

But there's still a voice inside of you

Even when the darkness covers every room

There's a little light breaking through

When the sky turns black

And the lights fade out

I'll hold your hand

When there's no way out

We're living in a world on mute

But I'm still calling out to you

Outro – whispered

Maybe the world isn't finished...

Maybe we're just waiting

For somebody to turn the volume back on.

Saundo.
