10 COMFORT IS A CAGE

[Verse 1] Velvet walls and quiet light, Everything arranged just right. Windows clean, the hinges oiled, Nothing broken, nothing spoiled. Soft bed. Warm air. Safe. Golden bars you hardly see, Polished like a guarantee. Every step already known, Every risk politely gone. Gentle. Silent. Calm. [Pre-Chorus] It never shakes, it never bends, It never asks how far you'd go. But something restless in the bone Keeps whispering: this isn't home. Wait. Listen. Know. [Chorus] Comfort is a cage. Soft enough you hardly feel Every lock beneath the steel. Padded walls. Golden frame. Safety wearing freedom's name. Stay inside. Fade away. Comfort is a cage. [Verse 2] Outside waits an open sky, Sharp with wind and asking why. Unmarked roads and uneven ground, Space where louder hearts are found. Cold air. Rough stone. Wide. Fear will dress in gentle tones, Call the quiet corners home. Offer peace without the climb, Trade your edge for borrowed time. Careful. Careful. Careful. [Pre-Chorus – Variation] Wings grow weak in velvet rooms, Roots grow shallow under roofs. Every door you never try Builds another reason why. Stand. Turn. Go. [Bridge] The cage was never forced on me — I closed the door and kept the key. And comfort spoke in honeyed breath: Stay here. Nothing risks your death. But nothing here remembers life. [Final Chorus] Comfort is a cage. Golden bars that hold you still While the world climbs past the sill. Safety whispering your name. Step outside. Break the frame. You still hold the key. Comfort is a cage.
