Open Mic Night at the Grievance Bar

[Verse]

He grabbed the mic like a torch in the dark

Telling tales of betrayal and a broken heart

But the room stayed still

Not a soul clapped along

He sang every failure like it wasn’t his song

[Chorus]

Open mic night at the grievances bar

Where the spotlight burns but won’t heal the scar

He cries out loud

"It’s not my fault

You see"

But the mirror’s laughing quietly

[Verse 2]

He built a stage from the wrecks of his pride

Stacked every grudge in a pyramid high

The crowd sipped slow

Their eyes on the floor

They’d heard it before

They’d heard it before

[Prechorus]

He beats his chest like a drum in the night

Echoes bounce but never feel right

[Chorus]

Open mic night at the grievances bar

Where excuses fall like a shooting star

The words don’t land

They float and flee

While the mirror keeps laughing quietly

[Bridge]

Spotlight flickers

It’s dim and it’s cold

The tales grow tired

The stories get old

He blames the world

But the cracks in the glass

Whisper his name as the moments pass
