We're climbing up
Canaries in the dark
Breathing deep the air
That's pulling us apart
Oh they call it freedom
But we're tethered to the chains
Building castles for a system
That forgets our name
Lost so many but I
Keep on moving fast
Same thing that my
Brothers do to
Cope with that
Pain in my rear view
But I cannot look back
Cross boarders for a lover
Cause the world
Don't wanna trust
Again and again
When can I win?
Carry the weight
But I'm never breaking
No
See my loved ones
Fade away
Going on another day
If I could turn the tide
And bring you back
I'd pull up right away
The world keeps
Spinning fast sometimes
I get caught up
In yesterday
Handle me with care
All this weight can
Make a person break
We're climbing up
Canaries in the dark
Breathing deep the air
That's pulling us apart
Oh they call it freedom
But we're tethered to the chains
Building castles for a system
That forgets our name
Walking blind folded
Tryna trust a gift
But the pressure
Weighing heavy
I can't let it drift
I feel my life moving
But I'm stuck in real time
Suffocate when I'm in Silence
That's a real crime
I speak the unspoken
Can't deny my truth
Eyes on a clock
So they miss
The whole view
Paper dreams on fire
Smoke in every room
Paycheck for survival
While the hours they consume
Trade soul for exposure
Hustle every breath
Sell art for exposure
To drown in
This modern debt
I'm pressed
I'm stressed
We're climbing up
Canaries in the dark
Breathing deep the air
That's pulling us apart
Oh they call it freedom
But we're tethered to the chains
Building castles for a system
That forgets our name
