Shatter the script

You're living this way, just trying to survive,
But building on ruins won't keep you alive.
You're nothing but rubble, ashes in the light,
Burning through your days and your endless nights.

You smoke those cigarettes, you drink, you laugh,
Follow the script, play your part on the path.
Be the fool, consume, and entertain the crowd,
Superficial masks, never speak too loud.

You nurture your cancer with each puff you take,
Drowning in your vices, yet you won't break.
You're dancing on the surface, never go too deep,
Hiding behind the roles, your secrets you'll keep.

You smoke those cigarettes, you drink, you laugh,
Follow the script, play your part on the path.
Be the fool, consume, and entertain the crowd,
Superficial masks, never speak too loud.

But don't you ever wonder, don't you dare to see,
The real you inside, longing to break free?
It's time to find the strength to look within,
Shatter these illusions, let the real you begin.

You're more than a puppet, lost in this charade,
Break out of this cycle, don't be afraid.
Discover your purpose, embrace your own voice,
Rise above the noise, make your conscious choice.

No more cigarettes, no more fake laughs,
Shatter the script, be yourself on the path.
Break the mold, be true, and stand tall, proud,
Ditch those shallow roles, let your voice resound.

Now it's time to shine, let your colors bloom,
Leave behind the ruins, escape the gloom.
You're more than the role they expect you to play,
It's your life, your journey, your voice, your say.
