Break My Own Cage (original)

rap, Aggressive rap-rock hybrid with male vocals: downtuned, chugging guitars locked to a trap-influenced groove, snarling verses over tight half-time drums and sub-heavy bass, Choruses explode into screamed gang vocals and wide distorted power chords; crunk-style chants and clap stacks hit in the hook, Brief filtered-break before the last chorus, then a full-band slam-outro, rap rock, rock, hip-hop, metal

[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar is a set of keys
Every doubt is a buried seed
Hear that crack in my crooked voice?
That’s the sound of a new belief

[Chorus]
I break my own cage, I’m the one who built it
Rip out the page when they say “you’re finished”
Blood on my name but I’m still not timid
I’m not afraid of the fall, I live it
I break my own cage, I don’t beg forgiveness
Turn all my rage to a sharp commitment
If I don’t fit in your safe religion
I’ll burn my way to a raw existence (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Midnight, my brain’s an arena
Thoughts in a circle, they scream up
Fight with the echo that beat us
Still I get loud when it heats up
Cracks in the mask let the teeth show
Friends turn to smoke when the fees grow
I’m on the ledge of my ego
Daring myself, “Let the beast go”

[Pre-Chorus]
Every “fail” is a loaded gun
Pointed straight at the older one
Pull that trigger on who I was
Watch me walk from the burning tongue

[Bridge]
(Yeah) teeth grit, throat torn
Heart sick, mind worn
Still I move, still reborn
Every breath, brainstorm
Say I’m too much? Then watch me grow
Say I’m “too loud”? Then feel the blow
If I implode, I still control
I own the blast, I own the role

[Verse 1] Head full of static and static Laugh when they call me dramatic Chewed up my panic, then spat it Right on the wall like a graphic Grin with the teeth of a habit I keep on feeding the addict Kick in the door of my patterns Tear all the rot from the attic [Pre-Chorus] Every scar is a set of keys Every doubt is a buried seed Hear that crack in my crooked voice?
