[Intro - Guitar] Six months out. Still hadn't found my feet. [Verse 1 - Clipped rap] Gate gone. Head same. New clothes, old crowd calling my name. No bars. Still stuck. Had a little freedom, didn't know what to trust. Couldn't sit still, couldn't let nights end, Kept filling every gap till it happened again. Too much using, not enough feeling, Called it living while I kept disappearing. Thought I'd earned a chance to forget the cage, Didn't see the cage in how I spent my days. Six months outside wasn't six months well, Didn't need a lock to be hard on myself. [Build] Out ain't healed. Free ain't settled. Let the drums get heavy— Hear that pressure. [Chorus - Gang-shouted drop] SIX MONTHS OUT! STILL IN MY HEAD! RUNNING FROM A LIFE THAT I HADN'T LEFT! NO MORE CIRCLES! FIND THAT ROAD! CAN'T BUILD TOMORROW IF I KEEP LETTING GO! [Verse 2 - Fast internal rhymes] Every "one more night" stole the next morning, Every warning sounded like someone controlling. Needed a change that wasn't just talk, Needed a place where I could start to walk. Didn't have a grand plan, had a bad pattern, Had to admit how often it happened. When I say I moved, it wasn't a victory lap, Was a frightened young bloke trying to break that trap. Long way from fixed, still a long way to go, But I couldn't keep calling that damage my home. Packed the uncertainty along with my clothes, At least I was choosing a different road. [Bridge - Low vocal] I was out of jail. Still needed direction. Freedom needed more Than celebrating the exit. [Final Chorus - Full drums] SIX MONTHS OUT! STILL IN MY HEAD! RUNNING FROM A LIFE THAT I HADN'T LEFT! NO MORE CIRCLES! FIND THAT ROAD! CAN'T BUILD TOMORROW IF I KEEP LETTING GO!
