Voices in my head fuel my rage Crawling through my thoughts, lock the cage Every word they spit feeds the flame I hold it together, going insane Certain faces make my pulse race I bite my tongue, won’t spit in your face Trying not to drown, can’t escape The hate I carry, the hate I embrace I swallow the fire, bottle the pain My ears bleed at the sound of your name One more second, one wrong move I’m fighting myself not to lose to you Inside my head it’s a violent place I scream, I shout, I’m breaking inside These thoughts stop me from breaking free This cage in my head is suffocating me I don’t need approval, I feed on your lies You fed me your poison, I learned to survive I keep a straight face, decay inside Every breath I take feels like a lie I once was a man with a name Now I’m nothing, just shame Strip me down, tear me apart Nothing survives what’s born in the dark Inside my head it’s a violent place I scream, I shout, I’m breaking inside These thoughts stop me from breaking free This cage in my head is crushing me This cage in my head This cage in my head Still suffocating me
