Opening β€” Djent Instrumental Guitar [chug‑syncopated riff] [palm‑mute build β†’ wide open chords] Verse 1 I’m inside a cage with the door wide open, I try to step out but my mind’s still broken. A tremor crawling just beneath my skin, A creeping pain that whispers from within. Every time I move, the fear pulls tight, Like a shadow clinging to the edge of light. I know the path out, but I freeze againβ€” Held hostage by the war inside my head. Pre‑Chorus Rivulets bleed from my eyes, I reach for hope in death’s disguise. Chorus I’ve been stuckβ€” I’m not standing still, But stuck’s not moving of my own free will. I want a way out, I’ll take the pill, I’ve seen enough, I’ve had my fill. [guitar stab] [glitch‑FX tail] Instrumental Break β€” Djent Groove [polyrhythm chugs] [ambient lead over low‑end rumble] Verse 2 Heart beats faster, thoughts start to race, The catch feels boringβ€”yeah, I need the chase. I’m working up the courage just to walk away, But the chains I forged won’t let me stray. Every step I take, the tension climbs, Like a ticking clock buried in my mind. I’m trying to break free, trying to be braveβ€” But the leash keeps tightening, and I’m close to the cave. Pre‑Chorus (Variant) My leash keeps getting tighter, And my mind is about to cave. Chorus (Repeat) I’ve been stuckβ€” I’m not standing still, But stuck’s not moving of my own free will. I want a way out, I’ll take the pill, I’ve seen enough, I’ve had my fill. Bridge Just see the mirrorβ€” A refraction of myself. A voice inside says, β€œLet it go… Put it on the shelf.” [clean guitar + reverb swell] [low growl bass enters] Final Chorus I’ve been stuckβ€” I’m not standing still, But stuck’s not moving of my own free will. I want a way out, I’ll take the pill, I’ve seen enough, I’ve had my fill. [final scream layer optional] Outro β€” Djent Guitar [chug‑fade] [discordant harmonic scrape] [ringing low‑end chord β†’ silence]
