[Verse 1]
Daddy's needle marks like oil spills on skin
Mother Earth's burning up, where do we begin?
Temperature's rising, both inside and out
While suits keep lying, I'm drowning in doubt
[Chorus]
Breaking down, breaking down
System failure all around
Can't tell if it's me or the world
That's crumbling to the ground
(Breaking, breaking, breaking down)
[Verse 2]
Seventy-two hours of watching it fade
The structure's collapsing, decisions we made
Your demons dance with the smoke in the sky
While oceans are rising, I'm getting high
[Bridge]
Lost in the haze of a ketamine dream
Nothing's okay, but nothing's what it seems
Your withdrawal screams echo through my mind
Like sirens warning all of humankind
[Chorus]
Breaking down, breaking down
System failure all around
Can't tell if it's me or the world
That's crumbling to the ground
(Breaking, breaking, breaking down)
[Outro]
In this heat, we're all the same
Addicted souls playing nature's game
The world spins faster, out of time
While ancient rhythms lose their rhyme
(Breaking... breaking... breaking...)
