The Humans And The Pet

[Young male voice] [Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] In the playground’s cruel game, Labelled different, always the same. Chasing tails of laughter that fade, Among the shadows, I was made. [Chorus] I won’t be leashed, won’t play your part, Screaming silence from a defiant heart. Thrown scraps of kindness, cold and stray, In your games, I refuse to play. [Verse 2] Tried to speak, but eyes glazed, In their world, I was dazed. Reaching out, a void returned, In the silence, my spirit burned. [Chorus] I won’t be leashed, won’t play your part, Screaming silence from a defiant heart. Thrown scraps of kindness, cold and stray, In your games, I refuse to play. [Bridge] In the echo of their taunts, a beast grew, From the pain, a rebel’s heart drew. No more leashes, no more fear, This rage, my voice, loud and clear. [Verse 3] Now I walk alone, a path self-made, Caged in the margins, keeping afraid. From the shadows, I forgot how bright, In my solitude, still seeking the light. keeping afraid. From the shadows, I forgot how bright, In my solitude, still seeking the light. [Hopeless outro] Wished for laughter, wished for friends, Dreams of belonging that never ends. In the crowd, unseen but true, Still I hoped, to connect like you.
