You say I’m tangled up in my head again / Treading deep where the light won’t reach / Every word you spit just sinks right in / I bite down hard while you preach / Lines cut deep, I can’t shake them off / Every second another knot / You say I’m a loaded threat / Yeah, no kidding—I’m not done But the real danger's in my head / These thoughts keep spinning, words unsaid / I built walls of doubt, a fortress of fear / If I give too much, will you pull away? / It’s a game I can’t replay I’m stuck in the cycle, chained to the grind / Thoughts wound tight and twisted inside / Guard is up, mask in place / Lock down every crack, every space / It’s easier to numb, easier to burn / Than let you see what I can’t return Your voice— It’s cutting in, I brace for the sound / A slow bleed, I can’t spit out / Standing tall on a razor’s edge / One wrong move and I’m over the ledge / You keep pressing, hammering in / I play it cool, hold back the spin / “Be real”—I laugh with teeth clenched tight / While inside, everything’s wound to fight [[Refrain: haunting, melodic and catchy]] If I ripped it open, would you stay? / Or would you turn and walk away? Caught in the cycle, tearing at seams / Every second feels like a scream / Guard’s up high, locked and bound / Dissect every word, every sound / It’s easier to burn, easier to break / Than show you how much is at stake I know it’s all wired in, deep and tight / A riddle locked up and spiked / What if I just split the cage? / What if I let it show, let loose the rage? Do I snap the chain, or wear it close? / Is it too far gone to ever expose? Locked in the cycle, it grinds me down / Every thought claws deeper, can’t turn around / Smile’s a scar that I’ve stitched in place / Every second’s another trace / Easier to sink, to hold it in / Than show the lines I can’t rescind Well, here we go again...
