Held in Place
dark industrial trap hip hop and R&B, jagged glitchy beat, metallic needle-like percussion hits, sharp sudden stabs, distorted bass, tense staccato rhythm, clipped breathy vocals, restrictive, claustrophobic, high tension, 128 BPM, Sparse, close-miked delivery with abrupt gaps and restrained melodic range; keep the arrangement compressed and tense throughout, using fractured percussion and bass pressure rather than a big melodic release, ending unresolved

[Verse 1] Sleeve caught No hand Door shut I stand A small click Behind my teeth My coat moves But I don't leave [Pre-Chorus] One inch Then none The room draws The blinds come down [Chorus] Held in place By nothing I can see Held in place Like the air has learned my shape [Verse 2] Cold seam At my side No mark No sign I count steps They don't add up My own name Feels buttoned shut [Pre-Chorus] One inch Then none The room draws The blinds come down [Chorus] Held in place By nothing I can see Held in place Like the air has learned my shape [Bridge] Don't look back Don't lean in Every edge Closes thin [Outro] Still here Still here No hand No door Still here
