Massive Damage Headlines

Verse 1

Neon paper cuts across the city sky

Streetlight prophets selling truth in a lie

Sirens hum the chorus of a restless night

We trade our quiet for the glow of fright

Pre Chorus

Every ticker ticks another scar

Ink-stained prophets counting who we are

We swallow static, spit out blame and signs

Learning how to read between the lines

Chorus

Massive damage headlines, screaming through the glass

Shattered little moments, printed on the past

We watch the world combust in bold and black and white

Turn the page and find another fight

Massive damage headlines, echo in the bones

Paper crowns and broken phones

We keep on reading like it’s all we own

Massive damage headlines, massive damage headlines

Verse 2

Coffee cools beside a half-forgotten name

Names become the currency of blame

A thousand faces blurred into a frame

We memorize the chaos, never learn the same

Bridge

Under fluorescent halos we confess

We crave the shock, we dress it as progress

If silence is a crime then noise is our defense

We build our monuments from other people’s dents

Pre Chorus

Every ticker ticks another scar

Ink-stained prophets counting who we are

We swallow static, spit out blame and signs

Learning how to read between the lines

Chorus

Massive damage headlines, screaming through the glass

Shattered little moments, printed on the past

We watch the world combust in bold and black and white

Turn the page and find another fight

Massive damage headlines, echo in the bones

Paper crowns and broken phones

We keep on reading like it’s all we own

Massive damage headlines, massive damage

Outro

Fold the paper, tuck the day away

Tomorrow’s banner will demand its pay

But for tonight the headlines hold their sway

We sleep with sirens humming what they say
