One click from collapse

[Intro – whispered, distorted]
Tick, tick, tick—
We're all just one click
From blowin’ this glitch
Off the goddamn grid.

[Verse 1 – rap]
Wake up to chains I didn’t sign for,
Clock in, shut up, beg for one more
Dollar just to drown in debt again,
Told to smile — “Be a man,” “Hold it in.”
I see plastic gods on billion-dollar thrones,
While we rot with mold in rental homes.
Politicians talk — I hear static,
Their fake concern? Systematic.

[Chorus – screamed/sung]
I’m not okay, but I’ll fake it loud,
Smile wide for this funeral crowd.
Every post, a loaded gun,
Every like, another one.
I scream in silence — can’t you tell?
This world’s a glitch coded in hell.

[Verse 2 – rap/nu-metal]
We broke the earth and blamed the youth,
Sold the lies, then hid the truth.
Kids can’t dream — just survive,
While boomers ask, “Why ain't you thrive?”
Can’t pay rent, can’t stay sane,
So we numb our minds, inject the pain.
Newsfeed full of another school shot,
But hey — let’s argue over TikTok.

[Bridge – distorted screaming]
I'm not your statistic!
I'm not your pawn!
I’m the last breath
Before it’s all gone.
You want peace? Then stop the rot,
But until then —
Screw your thoughts and prayers. I’m not.

[Breakdown – heavy guitar drop]
Click—bang—thoughts decay,
We’re all one snap from judgment day.
Your mask is on, your soul’s for sale,
This system failed. This system fails.

[Final Chorus – desperate, howled]
I’m not okay, but I’ll fake it loud,
Bury my rage in a digital shroud.
Every post, a loaded gun,
Every day, another run.
Don’t ask me “why” when I disappear—
You never listened. You were never here.

[Outro – whispered fade]
One click.
One crack.
One flash.
No turning back...
