"CAGE OF THE CURE" - ADDICTION PT3 - Red Face

[Intro: Ambient hum, distant echoes, slow build] The cure’s a cage And I’m locked inside The world keeps spinning But I’m stuck in the tide [Verse 1: Slow, strained delivery] I shook for seven mornings Screamed into my sheets She’s gone but still inside me Like a whisper in my teeth Need help to fill the fridge Need help to keep the roof overhead The money’s all gone and empty From the life I almost fed [Chorus: Pained scat, ghostly harmonies] Ahh‑uhh… ohh‑no… Cage of the cure It’s colder than the high Ahh‑uhh… ohh‑no… I’m clawing at the silence While the world walks by [Verse 2: Desperate, breathy vocals] They say I’m getting better But I’m drowning in the light Every smile feels foreign Every hug too tight I need their hands to hold me But I flinch at every touch I’m clean but not recovered And the weight’s still just as much [Chorus: Same scat, more distorted layering] Ahh‑uhh… ohh‑no… Cage of the cure It’s colder than the high Ahh‑uhh… ohh‑no… I’m clawing at the silence While the world walks by [Bridge: Spoken‑sung, trembling echo] The world still feels so heavy And I’m dragging through the pain Now every breath feels deadly The blood of the world… …drains… [Outro: Ambient fade, soft vocal decay] The cure’s a cage And I’m locked inside The world keeps spinning But I’m stuck in the tide [Scream] God, Help Me! [Fadeout] [End]
