Text:
Intro (space sounds + whispers):
static whispers in the satellite rain,
voices fading through the static chain,
where do we run when home feels strange?
when will the madness end?

Verse 1:
I see her on the screen, she says she’ll leave,
I feel that ache, yeah, I can’t believe.
We built this dream on fragile ground,
now every truth is lost in sound.

The lights still shine, but the soul feels cold,
we traded warmth for silver and gold.
I’d pack my heart, I’d fade away,
if silence meant I could stay.

Pre-Chorus (strings + rising synths):
Neon tears in the city rain,
who’s to blame for the echo pain?
Satellites cry in a lonely sky,
freedom fades, but the stars don’t lie.

Chorus (massive, emotional):
When will the madness end?
We keep pretending, we just defend.
I’m losing faith in the noise we send,
oh tell me, tell me — when will it end?

I understand, I wanna go too,
this isn’t the world I once knew.
Hold my hand, don’t let it bend,
when will the madness end?

(solo)

Verse 2 (funk groove with guitar):
The city moves in coded lies,
digital gods with plastic eyes.
We pray to screens, forget the sound,
of hearts that beat underground.

We used to dance, we used to feel,
now even love feels unreal.
I’m still here, yeah, holding tight —
to the last pure spark of light.

Bridge (ambient breakdown, space effects):
I hear you, I hear you calling,
through the static, through the falling.
A single tone, a human blend,
whispers softly: this can’t be the end.

(Guitar-Solo)

Final Chorus (full orchestral-trance fusion):
When will the madness end?
I’m tired of breaking to just pretend.
We’ll build again where truth can bend —
not for the power, but to mend.

I understand, I wanna go too,
but something tells me we’ll break through.
In the ruins, my voice I’ll send —
when will the madness end?
