[Verse 1] Staring at the handle Of the heavy front door The sunlight cuts across the hall Like it has before I take a step toward it Then stop and turn away Another morning disappears Exactly like yesterday [Pre-Chorus] The room feels smaller every day The hours slowly drift away For once in my life I want to step outside [Chorus] I know that I am paralysed by fear Even now the panic’s drawing near I tell myself There’s nothing there I know that I should step into the day But my feet refuse to find a way I want to move But I just stay [Verse 2] I wanna go, wanna go out Leave all these doubts behind Everyone says it’s easy But they don’t see my mind The pavement waits beyond the door A world I used to know One simple step is all it takes Yet I can’t seem to go [Pre-Chorus] No, I don’t wanna hide in here No, I don’t wanna live in fear No, I don’t wanna spend my life Watching from inside [Chorus] I know that I am paralysed by fear Even now the panic’s drawing near I tell myself There’s nothing there I know that I should step into the day But my feet refuse to find a way I want to move But I just stay [Bridge] If I could cross that line tonight And leave this room behind Instead I’m standing where I’ve stood A thousand different times [Final Chorus] I know that I am paralysed by fear Every year it feels a little clearer The door’s still there And so am I I know that I should step into the day But the courage never seems to stay I reach for it Then let it die [Outro] And I’ll still be trapped right here Watching the world go by Living with a nightmare on my street © 2026 Project ∞X.
