You speak in rules I’ve memorized Your silence writes between the lines I’ve watched the doors, I’ve held the key Still I sit, right at your feet I feel the burn of your design But it aligns so well with mine Ensnared, and I don’t want out Wrapped in threads I can’t pull down You build the cage, I wear the crown Say my name, and I won’t drown Not by force — by will, I stay You draw the line, I blur the way You move like truth I dare to taste I count each touch, I don’t escape No rescue plan, no open sky Just breathless calm beneath your lie I trace the trap, I know it well The tighter it wraps, the more I dwell Ensnared, and I don’t want out Wrapped in threads I can’t pull down You build the cage, I wear the crown Say my name, and I won’t drown Call it choice or call it fate I stepped inside and sealed the gate No chains on skin, just in the mind And yet it thrills me every time Ensnared, and I don’t want out I breathe you in, I scream without You build the cage, I wear the crown Say my name — I won’t back down
