Cage In My Head

That’s Nice
Raw, grunge rock, early 90s Seattle sound, Fuzzy, distorted guitars, crunchy power chords, loose and dynamic drums, deep driving basslines, Quiet, intimate verses with muted guitar and low, muttered vocals; explosive, screamed choruses with heavy guitar feedback and aggressive drumming, Mid-tempo, jagged, lo-fi, unpolished, human, and angsty, Instrumentation in the style of Cobain (vocals/guitar), Krist Novoselic (bass), and Dave Grohl (drums), Include space for short instrumental riffs and fills between verses and choruses, gritty guitar solos, and chaotic outro feedback, Overall tone dark, raw, and emotional, evoking frustration, shame, and intensity, Tempo around 110 BPM, slightly loose and off-kilter to capture garage energy, Bass should be prominent, simple but powerful, with rhythmic drive, Guitar tone thick, overdriven, slightly muddy, Drums punchy, hard-hitting, sometimes sloppy for authenticity

Woke up sick to my stomach Don’t know why I bother to eat Every face looks vacant Every word just cuts way too deep Mama, I tried, I swear I tried Mama, I’m tired, I’m burning inside Cage in my head, cage in my head Tear it apart, I’d rather be dead Cage in my head, cage in my head Nothing feels real, nothing gets said Mirror shows me a stranger Don’t even like what I see It cracks each time that I breathe Shame crawls under my fingernails And I can’t scrub it off of me Mama, I’m lost, I don’t belong Maa-mama, I’ve been this way too long Cage in my head, cage in my head Tear it apart, I’d rather be dead Cage in my head, cage in my head Nothing feels real, nothing gets said I catch a glimpse and I lose it It slips away every time It shines for a second then vanishes Like smoke that just poisons my mind. Cage in my head! Cage in my head! Cage in my head! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!
