Broken Trust

Verse 1

Bred on the noise of a broken feed

Schooled in the shadow of a hollow creed

They sold us futures that never came

Now we learn the lesson by other names

Pre-Chorus

We are the ones they forgot to teach

We are the ones they left on the beach

Chorus

Young and rotting in the machine

We chew the bones of their plastic dreams

Every promise turned to dust

We inherit their broken trust

Drop

Rotting

Rotting in the machine

Rotting

Rotting in the machine

Verse 2

They ration words like wartime bread

Hunger for meaning left unwed

Classrooms whisper lies of old

Marble statues growing cold

Pre-Chorus

We are the ones they forgot to count

We are the ones who learn to shout

Chorus

Young and rotting in the machine

We chew the bones of their plastic dreams

Every promise turned to dust

We inherit their broken trust

Bridge

Tear the ledger

Burn the scroll

We were never

Never whole

Drop

Rotting

Rotting in the machine

Rotting

Rotting in the machine

Chorus

Young and rotting in the machine

We chew the bones of their plastic dreams

Every promise turned to dust

We inherit their broken trust
