Claustrophobia (Reimagined)

Intro: Walls are breathing I can’t Verse 1: Every room feels six feet wide Eyes on me, nowhere to hide They say “relax,” they say “behave” Like I chose the cage they gave Static crawling up my spine Every second out of time I don’t need another rule I need space enough to move Pre-Chorus: Don’t tell me it’s all in my head When the ceiling’s on my chest Chorus: I’m getting claustrophobic Every breath feels overloaded Crowded by the noise, the pressure I can’t fit into the measure I’m getting claustrophobic Locked inside what you’ve decided If I don’t break, I’ll suffocate I’m getting claustrophobic Verse 2: They love me quiet, love me small Love me when I don’t feel at all Every “normal” feels like chains Every smile tightens the frame I’m not sick, I’m overwhelmed By the life you tried to sell If I scream, will you listen? Or just label the condition? Pre-Chorus: Stop shrinking me to make it fit I can’t breathe in counterfeit Chorus: I’m getting claustrophobic Heartbeat heavy, thoughts are choking Hands on glass, walls are closer Every second feels like closure I’m getting claustrophobic Your solutions feel corrosive If I don’t break, I’ll suffocate I’m getting claustrophobic Bridge: Back off Step away I need room or I will break Not broken Just bent By a system I resent Give me air Give me sound Give me space to break this ground Final Chorus: I’m getting claustrophobic But I’m done with being hopeless I’ll tear down what keeps me caged I won’t shrink to feel safe I’m getting claustrophobic But I’d rather fight than fold it If I burn to make escape I’ll breathe free in the flames Outro: I don’t need to be fixed I need space
