[Verse 1: Male Vocal - Quiet and Tense] Crowded room, I’m standing still, A tidal wave I can’t kill. Words are trapped behind my teeth, A silent scream beneath my feet. [Pre-Chorus: Male Vocal - Building Intensity] I see the doors, they’re open wide, But my mind won’t let me step outside. The chains are tight, they cut so deep, I’m fighting shadows I can’t defeat. [Chorus: Male and Female Vocal - Explosive and Emotional] I’m chained inside, I can’t break free, This cage I built is swallowing me. I see the world, but I can’t engage, I’m lost inside this endless rage. [Verse 2: Female Vocal - Ethereal but Conflicted] The sun is out, the air feels light, But in my chest, a storm ignites. I want to dance, I want to breathe, But fear won’t let me take the lead. [Pre-Chorus: Female Vocal - Building Tension] The crowd is calling, voices near, But all I hear is my own fear. These walls are high, they block the sky, I can’t escape, I don’t know why. [Chorus: Male and Female Vocal - Explosive and Unified] I’m chained inside, I can’t break free, This cage I built is swallowing me. I see the world, but I can’t engage, I’m lost inside this endless rage. [Bridge: Spoken Word and Rap] [Male:] I’m running, but I can’t find the pace, These voices in my head won’t erase. I want to laugh, I want to speak, But my mouth’s too tired, my body weak. [Female:] You’re not alone, you’ll find the way. [Male - Rap Element:] I’m stuck inside a maze, no way out, Each step’s a fight, I scream, I shout. The world keeps turning, but I stay still, Chasing shadows, against my will. [Chorus: Male and Female Vocal - Explosive and Climactic] I’m chained inside, I can’t break free, This cage I built is swallowing me. I see the world, but I can’t engage, This war inside, it burns with rage. [Both:] These chains, they cut, they scar my skin, But someday I know I’ll win! [Outro: Male and Female Vocal - Stripped-Back] The world outside is still so bright... But I’ll keep fighting through the night. [Violin fades with a final, haunting note.]
