No One Lives Here Anymore

🔔 Abonne-toi ici :    / @voluntas-structure   I saw the lights from the apartment blocks Thousands of windows, thousands of ghosts Everybody selling a version of themselves Nobody asking what it costs [Verse 1] I bought a dream from a plastic machine It came with a smile and a guarantee A perfect life in a perfect frame A different face with the same old name The streets are loud but nobody speaks Heavy hearts underneath designer weeks We run in circles, we call it progress We lose ourselves and call it success [Pre-Chorus] There is a shadow in the room There is a silence in the crowd Everybody chasing something Nobody saying it out loud [Chorus] This is the good life, isn't it? A beautiful lie we inherit A thousand voices, one empty room Waiting for something that never comes soon This is the good life, they say Just keep moving, don't look away But I found a crack inside the wall And now I can see it all [Verse 2] The kings of nothing wear expensive clothes They build their castles out of broken codes They sell you freedom, they sell you fear They disappear when the truth gets near I met a man with a million friends He was alone at the bitter end He had a story nobody knew Because everybody was watching through [Bridge – spoken / explosive] Maybe we were never lost Maybe we were never found Maybe the whole machine was built To keep us running underground [Final Chorus] This is the good life, isn't it? A ghost wearing a human spirit I don't need gold, I don't need fame I just want something I can name This is the good life, goodbye I stopped believing every lie The city sleeps, the morning comes I finally hear my own lungs #aimusic
