[INTRO]
O.C.F.

[VERSE 1]
I wake up heavy again, brain full of static hums,
Talk to the mirror like, “Who’s this bum?”—It never answers, just shrugs.
Got scars that don’t show, but they hum when I’m quiet,
Every thought’s a riot, I diet on guilt and violence.
Been trying to breathe through the panic that loops,
But the walls in my head keep closing like proof,
That I ain’t built for the peace I pretend I’m chasing,
Just pacing—heart racing—mask erasing.
I count the cracks till I lose my place,
Whole life in grayscale, no escape.
Dreams turn static, hope feels staged,
Smile’s just paint on a coffin face.

[HOOK]
I can’t get out, I can’t get out,
Every door I open turns me inside-out.
I talk to ghosts that wear my skin,
They whisper in words filled with sin
But it’s all in my head,
And I’m scared that’s where I’ll stay till the end.

[VERSE 2]
Clock hands mock me, grin and spin,
I pour my sin where my medicine been.
Write my prayers on a cigarette pack,
Light ’em up just to take them back.
Every friend says, “Man, you good?”—I lie,
Smile cracked open like a faultline sky.
Try to drown the noise in a cheap brown bottle,
But the voices keep shoutin’ loud and full throttle.
Anger got teeth and it bit too deep,
Sleep don’t come, it just watches me weep.
Every “why” feels cheap, every “how” feels hollow,
Every dream I chase, I fail to follow.

[BRIDGE]
Maybe I’m better off muted,
My voice polluted the calm.
Maybe I’m built for the bruises,
I confuse peace with alarm.
Every thought’s another chain link tight,
Every morning’s just leftover night.
I keep praying to a god of mistakes,
He keeps quiet—guess he relates.

[HOOK]
I can’t get out, I can’t get out,
Every door I open turns me inside-out.
I talk to ghosts that wear my skin,
They whisper in words filled with sin
But it’s all in my head,
“And I’m scared that’s where I’ll stay… (where I’ll stay)… till the end.”

[OUTRO]
“If this is healing,
why’s it still bleeding?"
