Invisible Borders from Toofan by Lily Amis

Invisible borders, lines they can’t see (can’t see)
Invisible borders, but they’re never free (never free)

They came back to nothing, winter on their skin (so cold)
Ash in the air, broken walls closing in (closing in)
Borders in the shadows - who’s letting them in? (who?)
The world stays silent while the cold digs in
No roof, no warmth, just the wind and dust (just dust)

They call it a “peace plan,” but who can they trust? (who?)
Playgrounds turned to gravegrounds, childhood in debris
Dreams crushed quiet where the world can’t see (can’t see)
Cameras can’t cross, but the cold does (still cold)
Headlines fade - but their pain stays
Lost in the ruins of forgotten days (forgotten days)

Invisible borders, lines they can’t see (can’t see)
Invisible borders, but they’re never free (never free)

Came back to nothing - cold cuts deep (deep)
Invisible borders, secrets they keep
Forgotten in the winter, no promise to keep (no promise)
Tell me, where’s the world when the world’s asleep? (where are you?)

Where laughter once echoed, now echoes debris
Invisible borders - such a silly excuse (so silly)
Peace plan for who? Just a game for the few
Playgrounds now war zones, childhood buried in debris (buried deep)
They rise from the ruins with frozen hands
Still standing straight while the world just scans (they watch)

No home, no help, no safe place to land
But dignity’s a fire no cold can command (still burns)
How do they survive and welcome the next day?
No future, no shelter, no place they can stay (nowhere)
No water, no heat, no strength on the way (nothing left)
Yet every breath says, “We’ll fight anyway.”

Invisible borders, lines they can’t see (can’t see)
Invisible borders, but they’re never free (never free)

Came back to nothing - cold cuts deep
Invisible borders, secrets they keep
Forgotten in the winter, no promise to keep
Tell me, where’s the world when the world’s asleep?

You built this chaos, drew the lines in blood
Signed your “peace” on paper while their homes turned to mud
You hide behind borders, behind cameras you freeze (you freeze)
But winter remembers what the world doesn’t see
You call it control - I call it a crime (a crime)
A war dressed in silence, a lie dressed in time (in time)
History is watching, every whisper, every flame (it’s watching)
And the cold won’t wash the weight of your name (never will)

But bravo to the ones who rise from the dust (rise up)
Who hold their ground steady when the world says “adjust” (stay strong)
Bravo to the broken who refuse to break (don’t break)
To the ones who get nothing, yet still give what it takes
They fight without weapons, just breath and will
In a game built to crush them - they stand there still
So here’s to the forgotten who refuse to be erased (won’t fade)
To the people in the ruins who still walk unshamed

Invisible borders can’t cage their soul (never)
They survived your winter.
They still stand whole. (still whole)
