Jasper Ash - Broken Democracy Lyrics

[Intro]
Static on the screen, watching it all fade
Democracy's dream slipping away
Mixed blood in my veins, where do I belong?
Everything I believed in feels so wrong

[Verse 1]
Scrolling through my phone while the world burns down
Dad's books on the shelf, collecting dust now
Political theory can't save us from ourselves
Growing numb to the headlines, mental health
Trapped between two worlds, never fitting in
Light skin, dark thoughts, where do I begin?
They said vote and pray, but the system's rigged
Now I'm watching live streams while my soul bleeds

[Chorus]
Can't look away, but I can't feel shit
Everything's breaking, I'm part of it
Father's wisdom fading into static
This generation's turning apathetic
Yeah, we're all lost souls in this digital haze
Watching empires fall through this screen's blue rays

[Verse 2]
Half of me wants peace, half wants it all to break
Notifications flash, my hands start to shake
Used to dream of change, now I just scroll past
These ideals we had weren't meant to last
INFJ mind trying to understand
While my spirit breaks in this no man's land
Saw it all unfold, felt so f*cking far
Watching through my phone like a falling star

[Bridge]
They say pick a side, but I'm in between
Lost in the static of this broken dream
What's real anymore? What's worth saving now?
When trust turns to rust, we're all going down

[Outro]
Static on the screen, watching it all fade
Democracy's dream dying every day
Mixed blood in my veins, nowhere to belong
Everything we believed in was so wrong
