[Verse 1]
Woke up in our ordinary room, sunlight feels like chains
Coffee brewing silently, yet it's loud inside my brain
You talk about the future, plans for this and that
But I'm just feeling hollow, like a needle stuck on track
[Pre-Chorus]
Routine's a heavy shackle, and love's a binding cord
Can't remember freedom, can't recall more
[Chorus]
Caught, In the Prison We Made
Every step I take, feeling more enslaved
Life's complexities, wrapped around my veins
Trapped in this cycle, drowning in the mundane
[Build]
Feels like I'm running away, but standing still
Heart's pounding loud, my mind's no longer thrilled
(Break)
Beat drops, reality realigns, a fleeting thrill
(Rebuild)
Caught, in the endless circle, it’s a bitter pill
[Verse 2]
Grocery store on Sunday, holding hands but feeling numb
Laughter turns to silence, communication gone unsung
Your touch used to warm me, now it's cold as winter's chill
I'm playing my part dutifully, but it's losing all appeal
[Pre-Chorus]
The whispers of past passion, now just echoes in the hall
We're bound by comfort, fearing the fall
[Chorus]
Caught, In the Prison We Made
Every step I take, feeling more enslaved
Life's complexities, wrapped around my veins
Trapped in this cycle, drowning in the mundane
[Build]
Feels like I'm running away, but standing still
Heart's pounding loud, my mind’s no longer thrilled
(Break)
Beat drops, reality realigns, a fleeting thrill
(Rebuild)
Caught, in the endless circle, it’s a bitter pill
[Bridge]
Pretending every moment that everything's okay
Inside I'm screaming silently, lost every single day
Social media smiles, yet my soul is in decay
Want to break these chains, but can't find a way
[Pre-Chorus]
Routine’s a heavy shackle, and love’s a binding cord
Can’t remember freedom, can't recall more
[Chorus]
Caught, In the Prison We Made
Every step I take, feeling more enslaved
Life's complexities, wrapped around my veins
Trapped in this cycle, drowning in the mundane
[Outro]
Caught, in the web of routine, shadows fill our space
Your eyes, my eyes, reflecting empty grace
When did love's fire flicker, when did it fade?
Here we are together, in this prison we made.
