[Intro: Driving synth, funky bass pulse, 125 BPM] [Verse 1] I see it everywhere In everyone but me Crystal vision, tunnel sight They diminish what they can't have Mock what shines too bright I see the cage they built But I'm the one inside, inside [Pre-Chorus: Building] The pattern keeps repeating The mechanism never stops The pattern keeps repeating And I'm trapped, trapped, trapped [Chorus: Catchy, driving] Narrow lens, narrow lens Can't see the wider view Taking what I can't possess Making it smaller than me Narrow lens, narrow lens Can't break the loop I'm in Seeing it so clearly now But I still can't let it go [Verse 2: Faster delivery] She got the life I wanted So I call it pretentious, yeah He's got the love I'm starving for So I mock his softness, yeah I consume what glimmers Then wonder why I'm empty The spiral keeps descending And I'm blind to my own hand [Pre-Chorus: Building intensity] The pattern keeps repeating The mechanism never stops The pattern keeps repeating And I'm trapped, trapped, trapped [Chorus: Full energy] Narrow lens, narrow lens Can't see the wider view Taking what I can't possess Making it smaller than me Narrow lens, narrow lens Can't break the loop I'm in Seeing it so clearly now But I still can't let it go [Bridge: Synth breakdown, driving] I watch myself do it Over and over and over See the cage I'm building But I keep on building The clarity that changes nothing The truth that sets me free But I'm still here, still trapped In the mechanism, yeah [Background vocals: Layered repeats of "narrow lens"] [Final Chorus: Maximum groove] Narrow lens, narrow lens Can't see the wider view Taking what I can't possess Making it smaller than me Narrow lens, narrow lens Can't break the loop I'm in Seeing it so clearly now And I still can't let it go Still can't let it go Still can't let it go [Outro: Synth pulse, hypnotic fade] Narrow lens Wide lens Narrow lens Wide lens (Synth fades)
