chosen alone Lyrics

Since he was young, he felt a pull in his chest

A whisper in his ear that he was different from the rest

Saw the cracks in the world, the lies in disguise

He could feel it in the air, the truth beneath the lies

Every face was hollow, just echoes in space

Souls sold cheap, traded grace for the chase

He'd try to wake 'em up, tell 'em what's real

But they just laughed it off, couldn't feel what he'd feel

Eyes glazed, moving like ghosts on repeat

Lost in the rhythm of a hollow heartbeat

He saw the signs rising, the world in decay

But every word he spoke just faded away

Eyes glazed, moving like ghosts on repeat

Lost in the rhythm of a hollow heartbeat

He saw the signs rising, the world in decay

But every word he spoke just faded away

Chosen alone, with a vision so clear

Watching the world burn while they're blind to the fear

He tried to be the voice, tried to be the light

But nobody heard him, no one saw the fight

Chosen alone, with a vision so clear

Watching the world burn while they're blind to the fear

He tried to be the voice, tried to be the light

But nobody heard him, no one saw the fight

He'd lie awake, wondering if he was insane

Or if the whole world was just numb to the pain

A puppet show playing, strings pulling each soul

Empty bodies dancing, but no one in control

He'd scream at the shadows, punch at the walls

Swore he'd bring 'em back from their sleep-bound thralls

But they were locked up tight, too far gone

Eyes wide open but the lights were off, all along

They walked in the dark, but they thought they were free

Chains around their minds they just couldn't see

He carried the weight of the world they ignored

Feeling like a prophet, but misunderstood and worn

Chosen alone, with a vision so clear

Watching the world burn while they're blind to the fear

He tried to be the voice, tried to be the light

But nobody heard him, no one saw the fight

Chosen alone, with a vision so clear

Watching the world burn while they're blind to the fear

He tried to be the voice, tried to be the light

But nobody heard him, no one saw the fight

He'd tell himself"Maybe it's gotta be me

The one to shake the earth, break the chains, set 'em free"

But his heart grew heavy, his hope grew thin

Fighting alone in a world steeped in sin

The weight on his shoulders, a cross he can't bear

The world's getting colder, and nobody cares

Still he clings to the spark, the fire inside

Knowing one day they'll see what he's tried to hide

One boy against darkness, against the machine

In a world that's forgotten what it means to dream

He may be alone, but he stands to the end

The chosen, forsaken, still fighting to mend

Chosen alone, with a vision so clear

Watching the world burn while they're blind to the fear

He tried to be the voice, tried to be the light

But nobody heard him, no one saw the fight

And so he walks on, in a world deaf and cold

A spark in the shadows, a truth untold.
