Kye Twilight - Shallow Graves Lyrics

[Intro]
Sirens in my head, static on the line
Caught between two worlds that both claim they're mine

[Verse 1]
Blood on my phone screen, death threats in my DMs
They want me to pick sides, but both sides condemn
Father's screaming loyalty, but I can't breathe
Trapped between cultures that both wanna leave
F*ck their expectations, I'm nobody's token
Every conversation leaves something broken
Switch my tongue like weapons, English then Arabic
They call me traitor, fake, but they don't know shit

[Chorus]
Can't be half of something when the world's at war
They want me whole but I'm scattered on the floor
Silence hits harder than the words they say
Caught in the crossfire, I'm starting to fade away
Starting to fade away

[Verse 2]
Family dinner turned warzone, can't take no more
Dad's eyes burning holes through me, straight to my core
Posted something online, now my cousin's done
Says I betrayed my blood, but which f*cking one?
Notifications blowing up with hate
People I grew up with telling me to suffocate
Identity's a prison and I'm serving life
Cut my soul in pieces with that cultural knife

[Bridge]
Emergency broadcast playing in my dreams
Reality's not what the f*ck it seems
Static in my veins, white noise in my brain
They all want the truth but the truth brings pain

[Chorus]
Can't be half of something when the world's at war
They want me whole but I'm scattered on the floor
Silence hits harder than the words they say
Caught in the crossfire, I'm starting to fade away
Starting to fade away

[Outro]
Let me be broken, let me be free
Don't need your approval to know who's me
Sirens fade out but the scars remain
In this war of identity, we're all to blame
