My Own Prison

[Orchestral intro, soft pads, distant strings] [Verse 1] Caught inside a hollow frame I walk the path that feels the same Each morning starts with promises But I can't escape these walls I build My hands repeat, my mind complies A circle I can’t redefine Screens glow, the hours die Another vow I push aside [Build-up, drums and bass slowly rising] [Pre-Chorus] Chains unseen, they hold me near Routine whispers in my ear I speak the words I long to say But I can't break, I can't delay [Chorus] I'm locked inside my own prison Chasing doors that never open Caught in patterns, carved in stone I can't escape, I'm not alone I'm trapped within, the lines are drawn A silent war that rages on I need a spark, a hand to lift But I’m sinking deeper in this drift [Instrumental break, soft guitar riff, echoing pads] [Verse 2] The chains grow tight, the rhythm bites Every step repeats the fight Work, home, the cycle spins I dream of change but I give in No windows here, no skies to chase Just shadows pacing in my space The battle screams but I stay still I crave release but lack the will [Pre-Chorus] Chains unseen, they pull me back The voice is gone, the courage cracks I speak the words I long to say But I can't move, I can't betray [Chorus] I'm locked inside my own prison Chasing doors that never open Caught in patterns, carved in stone I can't escape, I'm not alone I'm trapped within, the lines are drawn A silent war that rages on I need a spark, a hand to lift But I’m sinking deeper in this drift [Instrumental interlude, dramatic strings, bass accents] [Bridge] Someone call me, someone fight me Break these chains I forged so tightly Scream my name, ignite the flame I'm lost in here, it feels the same [Final Chorus] I'm locked inside my own prison Chasing doors that never open Caught in patterns, carved in stone I can't escape, I'm not alone I'm trapped within, the lines are drawn A silent war that rages on I need a spark, a hand to lift But I’m sinking deeper in this drift [Outro, fading strings, soft choir echoes]
