I wake up to the crack of dawn, The world moves on, but I'm still gone, Empty streets and a paper in my hand, Trying to make a living in this broken land. Where did you go? I’m all alone, The silence screams as I stand by the phone, I sell my heart, page by page, But I can’t turn back, it’s a locked-up cage. Mom and Dad, where are you now? I’m holding on, but I don’t know how, I sell these papers just to survive, But I can’t escape the pain inside. Behind these bars, you’re far away, But in my heart, you’ll always stay, I’m just a kid with no way out, Selling the truth, but lost in doubt. Every day feels like a fight, Under city lights, I hide my tears at night, I keep walking, though my feet are sore, I dream of you, but you’re not home anymore. I’m just 20, too young to be this strong, But I keep going, though I don’t belong, I wear a smile, but it’s a mask, No one asks about the pain I’m tasked. Mom and Dad, where are you now? I’m holding on, but I don’t know how, I sell these papers just to survive, But I can’t escape the pain inside. Behind these bars, you’re far away, But in my heart, you’ll always stay, I’m just a kid with no way out, Selling the truth, but lost in doubt.
