CAGE IN MY HEAD

V5.5

[Intro] [whispered male vocal, distant heartbeat, reversed piano, glitching radio static] I hear the walls breathing, they’re calling out my name. [Verse 1] [fast, tense rap delivery, dry close-mic vocal, sparse sub bass and stomping drums] Every stare is a blade, every room is too small, I carry all the noise of the world through it all. Smile on my face but my head’s caving in, I fight all the shadows and they multiply again. [Pre-Chorus] [drums build, distorted bass rises, vocal becomes desperate] When I fall, I fall deep, when I burn, I lose sleep. No door, no way out, just my head and all this doubt. [Chorus] [huge melodic screamed vocal, wide distorted guitars, massive live drums] I’M NOT BROKEN — I’VE JUST BEEN ALONE TOO LONG! TEAR THE WINDOWS OPEN, LET THE STORM COME ON! When the darkness calls my name, I will scream above the flame: I’m not your victim, I’M STARTING AGAIN! [Verse 2] [aggressive half-time rap, punchy kick, palm-muted guitars, vocal doubles] They wanted silence but I came with thunder, black sparks dripping from the weight I’m under. No hero, no saint, no perfect escape, but I walk through the fire and I’m still awake. [Bridge] [instruments cut, vulnerable clean vocal, piano and distant choir] Maybe I’m not lost, maybe I was built inside a world that only loves what it can fix. [Breakdown] [violent downtuned guitars, crushing half-time drums, guttural shouts] BREAK THE CAGE! BREAK THE CAGE! I’M STILL HERE! [Final Chorus] [full-band climax, soaring screamed melody, double-time drums, layered gang vocals] I’M NOT BROKEN — I’VE JUST BEEN ALONE TOO LONG! TEAR THE WINDOWS OPEN, LET THE STORM COME ON! And when the darkness calls my name, I will call it out the same: You won’t have me — I’M STARTING AGAIN! [Outro] [ringing guitar feedback, heartbeat slows, whispered vocal] I’m starting again.
