“Broken Strings and Shattered Dreams”
Full song lyrics
(Verse 1)
[G] I’m living on the [D] edge, at the [Em] fringes of my [C] sanity
[G] Trying hard to [D] mend, the [Em] pieces of our [C] broken reality
[G] The world’s full of [D] lies and [Em] deceit, like a [C] web we can’t defy
[G] But we’re not gonna [D] fall for it, we’re [Em] not gonna [C] comply
Chorus
[C] Broken strings and [G] shattered dreams, [Em] bound by society’s [D] silent screams
[C] We won’t be silenced, [G] we won’t be tamed, [Em] we’re not just pieces in [D] their game
(Verse 2)
[G] We’re not just [D] numbers, not just [Em] names in their [C] files
[G] We’re more than [D] that, we have [Em] dreams and [C] trials
[G] We’ll rise above [D] the web, break [Em] through the [C] issue
[G] With our music as [D] our weapon, we’ll [Em] never [C] dismiss you
Chorus
[C] Broken strings and [G] shattered dreams, [Em] bound by society’s [D] silent screams
[C] We won’t be silenced, [G] we won’t be tamed, [Em] we’re not just pieces in [D] their game
