Don’t become what breaks us

„Don’t Become What Breaks Us“ ist eine kraftvolle Soul-Ballade über Erschöpfung, Gewissen und innere Haltung in einer Welt, die zunehmend abstumpft. Der Song beschreibt keine politischen Programme und benennt keine Gegner.

(C) Idee: Rainer Wittmann (2025) | Umsetzung: KI

[VERSE 1]
I’m tired.
I’m so tired.
Not the kind that sleep can heal.
I’m tired of watching people
treated like tools,
used up,
worked down,
discarded when they’re empty.

I’m tired of seeing truth
bent into shapes
that fit a narrative.
Tired of hands that take
while voices tell us
this is how it has to be.

[PRE-CHORUS]
I carry this weight
everywhere I go.
Not anger.
Just the knowing
that something here
is deeply wrong.

[CHORUS]
Don’t become what breaks us.
Let the shadows lose their hold.
Don’t become what breaks us.

[VERSE 2]
I’m tired.
God, I’m tired.
Of people being betrayed,
locked away,
silenced behind clean words.

Tired of lies
softened until they sound harmless.
Tired of children
learning pain too early.
Tired of old souls
dying alone
while the world keeps moving.

[PRE-CHORUS]
I don’t scream anymore.
I don’t shout.
I just feel the cost
settling in my chest.

[CHORUS]
Don’t become what breaks us.
Let the shadows lose their hold.
Don’t become what breaks us.

[BRIDGE]
I can’t fix the world.
I know that now.
But I can choose
what I refuse to be.

I can keep my heart open.
I can stay awake.
I can walk away
from what asks me
to stop caring.

[FINAL CHORUS]
Don’t become what breaks us.
Let the shadows lose their hold.
Don’t become what breaks us.

Stay human.

[OUTRO]
That’s all I have.
And that’s enough.
