STRONGER Songtext
von Locksmith

Yeah


Let me ask you, would you ever leave? (What?)
If you had to, would you ever bleed (What?)
For the thing that you love most?
Even if you come close, you can use that to proceed (Yeah)
Runnin′ in place 'til you caught wind (Damn)
Everybody feels so boxed in (Yeah)
Can′t trust what you see, what you hear
'Cause there's so much fear circulating when you log in (Real)
Everybody′s on their devices, everything seems so divisive
Everybody′s so caught up in their own routine
We don't see there′s a whole 'nother crisis (What?)
We don′t even talk no more, we just pass (Nah)
We don't even mourn for loss, we just laugh (Nah)
We don′t even care we share, but more tags (Nah)
Some of us are wearin' more than one mask (Yeah)
Some of us are unaware of our options
Rather than love, we follow some doctrine
Rather than take your time to show patience, fine
We show angst and anger that's locked in (Yeah)
We don′t even reach for the next person (What?)
We don′t even blink when it's death lurkin′ (Lurkin')
We don′t give a second thought whenever breath is lost
Unless it becomes our own burden (Yeah)
I know there's something dividin′ us bigger (Bigger)
We go online and emotions get triggered (Triggered)
We're so dependent on negative misinformation
That we're just becomin′ more bitter (Yeah)
Like they′re replacing the dreamers with cynics (Cynics)
Hard to conceive it unless you've been in it (Yeah)
Harder to see it because we′re conceited
And seated so comfortably, we don't admit it (Yeah), listen

And how can I keep goin′ when I'm down a ways?
Down a ways, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I can feel me fallin′ callin' out a ways
Out a ways
I've been through it all, but I′m holdin′ on
I keep goin' on, gettin′ stronger now
I went through it all, I'm holdin′ on
I keep goin' on, gettin′ stronger now


And everybody's so judgmental (What?)
And everything is so damn mental (What?)
We all bow down and we nod to the internet mob
'Cause we′re all so resentful (Damn)
And everybody′s scared to look into
Their own self-doubt, so we shout just to get through (Yeah)
Whatever mistakes that we live through
And nobody here is forgiveful (Yeah)
We don't even speak no more, we just text (Text)
We don′t even go outside or get dressed (Dressed)
We invest all our time to look good online
And find random people to impress (Ugh)
We can't even be ourselves, we get stressed (Stressed)
We suppress how we feel for success (Yeah)
We express righteous fear to get likes and shares
Knowin′ deep inside we're depressed (Yeah)
We′re so unaware of our actions (What?)
Rather than truth, we follow distractions (What?)
Rather than reconcile, we progress somehow
And accept the crowd that we're trapped in (Trapped)
We don't lose sleep if we not hurtin′ (Nah)
We don′t go deep, we just scratch surface (Nah)
We accept what we're fed and go to sleep in bed
And don′t question what's the true purpose (What?)
I know there′s something dividin' us greater (Greater)
We go online and emotions get tailored (Yeah)
We′re so dependent on negative misinformation
And we're just becomin' more jaded
Like they′re replacing the dreamers with cynics (Cynics)
Hard to conceive it unless you′ve been in it (Yeah)
Harder to see it because we're conceited
And seated so comfortably, we don′t believe it, look (Yeah)

And how can I keep goin' when I′m down a ways?
Down a ways, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I can feel me fallin' callin′ out a ways
Out a ways
I've been through it all, but I'm holdin′ on
I keep goin′ on, gettin' stronger now
I went through it all, I′m holdin' on
I keep goin′ on, gettin' stronger now
