Dreams Not Realized

[Verse 1]  
Born with an itch to split this town  
Raised on promises that let me down  
Future is uncertain, thoughts of dismay 
Now I rage and it’s on full display!

Climbing a ladder, that starts to crack
Every step fueled for an attack 
They said “Work hard, you’ll touch the sky”  
The sky has fallen, not the least surprised!

[Pre-Chorus]  
I saw the gates, then seen the light  
Slammed shut into late overnight  
I’m just a name they’ll never know  
A ghost hidden in their status quo  

[Chorus]  
Dreams not realized- Read the letter 
I search for answers and it’s not better 
We were meant to rise, Stand and fight  
Forging forward into the black night
Dreams not realized—this was private 
No more silence, no more quiet  
Etched our names in the largest stone  
A Throne of broken bones  

[Verse 2]  
Reward the cowards, praised the frauds  
While we were buried under odds  
Preparing Death Camps keeps us silent 
They danced in suits, as we sank to be compliant 

But rage is fuel and scars are maps  
Rebellion marching pushes through traps  
No silver spoons or a safety net  
Venom nitty gritty with no regret  

[Bridge]  
This is for the ones denied  
The artists crushed, the truth defied  
The dreamers told to play it safe  
Burn their rules and raise the stakes  

[Breakdown]  
No more waiting, no more blame 
Burning hot coals host your shame 
Dreams not realized?  
We’ll make your nightmares come alive  

[Final Chorus]  
Dreams not realized- Read the letter 
I search for answers and it’s not better 
We were meant to rise, Stand and fight  
Forging forward into the black night 
Dreams not realized—this was private 
No more silence, no more quiet  
Etched our names in the largest stone  
A Throne of broken bones
