[Verse] Woke up screaming, but no one heard, Choked on silence, swallowed words. Built these walls to keep them out, Now I’m the one that can’t get out. [Pre-Chorus] I scratched my name in every stone, Tried to carve truth from a heart of bone. But it echoes back, this empty stage, I’m the prisoner, I am the cage! [Chorus] My own cage, my own chains, Wearing my trauma like bloodstains. I can't run, I can't lie, I see the truth when I close my eyes. My own cage, my own scream, Tearing at the threads of every dream. [Verse] Tired of pretending I’m okay, Cracks are spreading every day. Smiling in a world that feeds on pain, But the mask is slipping in the rain. [Pre-Chorus] Tried to be whole, tried to belong, But I break every time I play along. No more silence, no more shame, I’ll light the fire, I’ll take the blame! [Chorus] My own cage, my own chains, Wearing my trauma like bloodstains. I can't run, I can't lie, I see the truth when I close my eyes. My own cage, my own scream, Tearing at the threads of every dream. [Bridge] I buried myself to keep the peace, Now I’m digging up the beast. No more calm, no more control, Let the rage take its toll! [Breakdown] Burn it down! Let it break! I’ll shatter this self I used to fake! Chains snap, bones scream— I’m more than this machine! [Chorus] My own cage, now it’s dust, Ashes rising, steel to rust. I won’t run, I won’t lie, I found my voice and it won’t die. My own cage, set it free, This is the death of who I used to be. [Outro] Let it burn, let it fade, I’m walking out of the mess I made
