Intro:
I'm boxed in, caught up in my own mind
Black thoughts, I'm stuck, and I can't find
A way out, just another day, doubt
Tryna keep my head above water, but I may drown
Verse 1:
Locked in a room with these four walls, no escape
My soul feels heavy, like I'm buried under weight
Fake smiles, gotta mask what's really deep inside
Running from the pain, but there's nowhere to hide
Feel the void closing in, suffocating tight
Swallowed by the dark, can't differentiate night
From the day, 'cause it's all just a haze
In this maze, tryna find my way, but I stray
Pre-Chorus:
Invisible chains hold me down, I'm trying to fight
Voices in my head, telling me it's alright
But I know deep down, they're feeding me lies
Trapped in my mind, I need to break ties
Chorus:
Hidden shadows, lurking in my brain
Can't show the world I'm living in this pain
Silent battles, in my head they reign
I'm just lost in the storm, can’t escape the rain
Verse 2:
Mirror's no friend, it's reflecting my deceit
The man I see ain't the one I wanna meet
On the surface, I'm calm, collected, they greet
But beneath, it's a war that I can't seem to beat
Nightmares in the day, fears never fade
Trapped in myself, like I'm caught in a cage
Pages of my life, filled with silent cries
In this book of mine, only darkness applies
Pre-Chorus:
Invisible chains hold me down, I'm trying to fight
Voices in my head, telling me it's alright
But I know deep down, they're feeding me lies
Trapped in my mind, I need to break ties
Chorus:
Hidden shadows, lurking in my brain
Can't show the world I'm living in this pain
Silent battles, in my head they reign
I'm just lost in the storm, can’t escape the rain
Bridge:
Every breath, every step, feels like I'm on trial
Walking on a tightrope, gotta fake another smile
In the crowd, I'm alone, can't reveal I'm a mess
Heart's heavy with the weight of this unspoken stress
Outro:
So I write, and I spit, let the words flow free
While these hidden shadows keep haunting me
Maybe one day, I'll break these chains
Find light in the dark, escape the rains
Hidden shadows, no longer my bane
I'll rise above, and I'll ease the pain
Till then, I'll fight, keep playing this game
‘Cause in the end, it'll never be the same
