BURNOUT GENERATION


We have a message- and it appears you’re listening. 
So here’s what you missed while the world kept scrolling. 

Verse 1
We learned to duck beneath our desks
as sirens screamed and teachers guessed
if this was real or just pretend
until the drills began to blend

We saw the towers fall in flames
before we knew our classmates’ names
we watched the world collapse in dust
and learned too young not to trust

We stared at screens where numbers rose
death counts stacking like dominoes
we knew the rules for shelter-in-place
before we knew our own last names

Verse 2
We watched the waters fill New Orleans
saw people stranded on TV screens
days without a rescue plan
told to wait with empty hands

We ate free lunch and kept our heads
as moms cried quiet, broke the bread
we lost our homes, the jobs were gone
we learned to lie and carry on

We heard the word recession young
our parents broke, our mouths went numb
they said work hard, it’d be okay
but rent still climbs and we still pay

Chorus (1)
We’re the burnout generation
carrying weight without cessation
we scroll, we break, we try to sleep
but every silence cuts too deep
tired hearts and wired minds
living stuck in overtime
we’re the burnout generation
holding breath like medication

Verse 3
We watched the dancing turn to screams
in colored lights at Pulse and dreams
were lost beneath the flashing red
we mourned in tweets and bowed our heads

We went to school in bulletproof
built safe rooms in our lunchroom booths
practiced hiding in the dark
and wore our trauma like a mark

We learned which hallways had no cover
we listened close for each fake lover
the drills, the deaths, they blurred like rain
and left us walking with the stain

Verse 4
We sang along while Robin smiled
then he was gone and we were wild
with guilt and fear for laughing too
for knowing what he’d been through

We played our CDs, Tupac loud
his truth still echoing the crowd
they said Cobain just couldn’t cope
we called it art and clung to hope

We tried to numb it when we could
with streaming noise and shrinking food
and every hour we stayed online
we lost a piece we thought was mine

(Chorus) 

Bridge
We bought ring lights to stay employed
we rationed meds and called it void
we buried friends through frozen glass
and mourned in DMs that won’t last

We watched tsunamis wipe out towns
and learned to fear what can't be found
we tracked the spread and watched the map
as days dissolved into the app

We hugged our parents through a screen
we sanitized what might be seen
we shared a world we couldn’t touch
and found we missed too goddamn much

Verse 5
We know the cost of every breath
we scroll through grief, we laugh at death
we joke about the end online
but wake at 3 and beg for time

We lay in beds that never cool
with calendars we never rule
we take our pills and break the rules
then cry for things we learned in school

The oceans rise, the wildfires eat
and still we work and still repeat
we try to save what can’t be kept
and mourn what hasn’t happened yet

Verse 6
We’ve lost best friends to silence cold
to roads not crossed, to truths untold
we’ve watched our heroes slip and fade
from overdoses, razor blades

We light our candles every week
for names too heavy now to speak
and carry grief like second skin
too tired to let the light back in

Chorus
We’re the burnout generation
carrying the weight of desperation
we scroll, we break, we try to sleep
but every silence cuts too deep
tired hearts and wired minds
living stuck in overtime
we’re the burnout generation
and no one taught us how to breathe

Outro
We carry names we never met
a timeline stitched with our regret
we light the match, we curse the flame
and wonder if we’ll feel the same
we’re the burnout generation
and somehow still we show up anyway
we show up trembling, show up late
we show up broken, carrying weight
we show up screaming through the cracks
and dare the dark to take us back
we’re the burnout generation
and we still show up anyway.
