Trucks Before Sunrise - Lyrics

Featured Lyrics

I hear the trucks before the sunrise
Like thunder crawling through my veins
Another morning built on silence
Another species dressed in chains

And I can’t stop thinking ‘bout their heartbeats
Pounding hard against the steel
How they must smell death around them
Long before the blades are real

And maybe that’s the part that breaks me
They never even understand
Why the world keeps dragging them
To die by human hands

And I can’t eat fear anymore
Can’t call this mercy, call this normal
They were never born for slaughterhouses
Never made to die ignored

Every scream gets trapped inside me
Every pair of eyes still stays
How do we call ourselves human
While we take their lives away?

A mother searching for her baby
Crying out through concrete halls
And somewhere people laugh at dinner
Never hearing those desperate calls

They trust us right until the ending
That’s the cruelest part to me
They do not know what’s waiting for them
They just know they want to leave

If suffering had a face beside you
If terror breathed against your skin
Would you still look the other way
Just to taste it once again?

We don’t wanna die tonight
We don’t wanna die tonight

Can somebody hear us cry?
Can somebody hear us cry?

Never born for slaughter
Never born for slaughter

We don’t wanna die tonight
Can somebody hear us cry?
Never born for slaughter

Cause I can’t eat fear anymore
I can’t swallow all this violence
There is blood beneath the silence
Even if the world ignores

And I know people call me crazy
Sensitive or hard to understand
But I would rather break beside them
Than look away
