Till The Others Wake Track

Kemaktun's Singles Volume 2

Intro,
Some days it feels like the whole world leans the wrong way.
Not by accident,
not by chance,
but because people with power spent decades stacking the ground against us.
And somehow we’re still here,
waiting for the moment when everyone else finally sees it.

Verse 1
I wake up every morning wondering how many more days
I can push through a world built to grind down people like me.
Tyrants never build the cage all at once,
they build it slowly,
with laws that look harmless,
rhetoric that sounds reasonable,
and systems that turn living into a form of endurance.
I keep moving anyway,
because I don’t know what else to do.
Somewhere deep down I hope
that the others will eventually feel what I feel
and realize it was never just happening to me.

Chorus
I hold on till the others wake,
even when the nights feel endless.
I stand against a world tilted by hands I never chose.
I breathe through the pressure,
I carve out another day,
waiting for the moment when the crowd becomes a chorus.
I keep living
till the others wake.

Verse 2
History is full of people who waited like this.
People who held the line long before the world noticed.
People who lived in systems designed to break them
but still managed to plant seeds under the concrete.
Scholars write about them like legends,
but they were just tired souls
doing what they had to do to survive the day.
I try to remember that
when the weight sits too heavy on my chest.
I try to believe that survival itself
is a form of defiance,
a message written in my footsteps
for a future that isn’t here yet.

Chorus
I hold on till the others wake,
till they see the bars for what they are.
I push through the hurt,
through the loneliness of fighting in advance.
I keep walking because someone has to be the first one moving.
I keep living
till the others wake.

Bridge
I don’t know how long it will take.
I don’t know how many days like this I can carry.
But I know that tyrants only win
when everyone forgets each other.
I know that the world changes
the moment enough people decide
they won’t look away anymore.

Final Verse
So I live another day,
not because the system makes room for me,
but because I refuse to let it decide my worth.
I live another day
because one day the silence will crack
and the ones still sleeping
will rise with the same fire I carry now.
I live another day
because maybe tomorrow
is the day they wake.

Final Refrain
I hold on
till the others wake.
I keep living
till the others wake.
