Neon Flux - Fault Lines Lyrics

[Intro]
Lost between these concrete walls
Echoes of who I used to be
Fragments of my sanity
Breaking down systematically

[Verse 1]
Middle-class dreams suffocating me
Mom wanted law school, dad wanted MD
But I found peace in these city streets
Where broken souls like mine could breathe
Trapped between two different worlds
Good boy image slowly unfurls
Family dinner table feels like jail
While my mind's racing down a darker trail

[Chorus]
Fault lines running through my veins
Suburban lies and urban pain
Can't be who they want me to be
These demons won't let me break free
Fault lines, yeah, fault lines
Watch me crumble as I shine
Fault lines, yeah, fault lines
Lost between their world and mine

[Verse 2]
F*ck their expectations, I'm done pretending
Every family photo feels like my soul's ending
Workshop broke me down, tears on the stage
Released years of pressure, finally turned the page
Manchester nights, sirens screaming truth
While I record pain in this soundproof booth
Split personality, who the f*ck am I?
Mother's perfect son or this broken guy?

[Bridge]
Memory fragments scattered on the floor
Identity crisis knocking at my door
Heritage pulling me back to roots
While future's calling with these urban truths
Yeah, I'm losing it, but finding me
In this breakdown, finally breaking free

[Chorus]
Fault lines running through my veins
Suburban lies and urban pain
Can't be who they want me to be
These demons won't let me break free
Fault lines, yeah, fault lines
Watch me crumble as I shine
Fault lines, yeah, fault lines
Lost between their world and mine

[Outro]
System failure, mental break
This is all I can take
Watch me rise from these ashes now
No more masks, this is me somehow
F*ck your standards, f*ck your rules
I'd rather break than be your tool
