Kye Twilight - Shallow Breath Lyrics

[Intro]
Caught between two worlds, they want me dead
Notifications light up red with what they said
Can't breathe, can't think, caught in the middle
Every post I make becomes another riddle

[Verse 1]
They want me to pick a side, but I'm stuck in limbo
Scrolling through my feed, watching stories through the window
Death threats in my DMs, they don't even know me
Heritage becomes a weapon, now they try to own me
F*ck your fake activism, your hearts made of plastic
Post and pray mentality, it's all so drastic
Had a breakdown in that warehouse, cameras rolling
While Zara watched me crumble, my soul was folding

[Chorus]
Trapped between the flags they wave
Cultural warfare made me its slave
Screaming into echo chambers
While they turn my pain into numbers
I'm a f*cking casualty of their holy war
Don't know what I'm fighting for anymore

[Verse 2]
Adriana called me out for staying silent
But my silence speaks louder than their violence
Algorithm feeds me hate until I'm drowning
In opinions from people who keep clowning
Middle Eastern strings play in my nightmares
Mixed with sirens, while blue ticks share their prayers
British passport, Lebanese blood in my veins
Can't wash away either, both leave stains

[Bridge]
Delete my socials, still can't escape
The weight of history on my mental state
Industrial noise drowning out the shame
Of being torn apart, everyone to blame

[Chorus]
Trapped between the flags they wave
Cultural warfare made me its slave
Screaming into echo chambers
While they turn my pain into numbers
I'm a f*cking casualty of their holy war
Don't know what I'm fighting for anymore

[Outro]
Let me breathe without your labels
Let me grieve without your fables
Jihad against myself was never the plan
Now I'm just a broken man
In no man's land
