[Intro]

[Verse]
Cold synth pulse, a distant hum
Metallic echoes, the deal's begun
Shiny contracts, a handshake tight
Promises whispered in neon light
Felt the future in my hand
Now I'm sinking in this promised land

[Pre-Chorus]
Chasing shadows, a gilded cage
Turning anger to a silent rage
The ink is dry, the price is paid
A future sold, a soul betrayed

[Chorus]
Chrome and broken promises, a bitter taste
In these glass towers, we're losing our place
Empty smiles and hollow praise
Lost in the labyrinth of these wealthy days
Yeah, the stage is set, the spotlight gleams
But it's all just chrome and broken dreams

[Verse]
Executives with eyes of ice
Selling futures at a heavy price
They built this palace on our sweat and tears
Now they're counting profits, calming all their fears
We gave our hearts, we gave our all
Watched our true selves start to fall

[Pre-Chorus]
Chasing shadows, a gilded cage
Turning anger to a silent rage
The ink is dry, the price is paid
A future sold, a soul betrayed

[Chorus]
Chrome and broken promises, a bitter taste
In these glass towers, we're losing our place
Empty smiles and hollow praise
Lost in the labyrinth of these wealthy days
Yeah, the stage is set, the spotlight gleams
But it's all just chrome and broken dreams

[Bridge]
They said we'd fly, they said we'd soar
But every step just left us wanting more
Now the silence screams, the metal rings
Is this the glory that success now brings?
(Industrial metallic hits)

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Chrome and broken promises, a bitter taste!
In these glass towers, we're losing our place!
Empty smiles and hollow praise!
Lost in the labyrinth of these wealthy days!
Yeah, the stage is set, the spotlight gleams!
But it's all just chrome and broken dreams!
So desperate now, it seems!

[Outro]
