(Verse 1)

I wake up in chains, same pain, new day,

Smile on my face? Nah, that's just the play.

I perform for the crowd, then I go backstage,

And cry in a corner like I'm stuck in a cage.

These walls talk louder than people I trust,

They echo my doubts and cover 'em in dust.

Hope’s just a word I heard in a dream,

But I woke up to silence, no light, no gleam.

I tried prayin’, but it bounced off the bars,

Guess heaven don’t hear you from this far.

And fate keeps dealin’ me cards I ain't ask for,

Like I’m meant to survive but not meant to soar.

(Hook)

This ain’t a life, it’s a sentence I serve,

Locked in a mind that no one deserves.

I scream but it echoes, no one believes,

I’m trapped in a cell that don’t come with keys.

(Verse 2)

Yeah, they say, “Keep fightin', it gets better,”

But I’m bleedin' through every love letter.

Told myself lies just to sleep through the night,

Now I'm numb to the dark and allergic to light.

Fate got a list, and my name’s in bold,

Like I’m born to break, not to be told.

I try to breathe but it’s always cold,

Like I’m stuck in a story that’s already old.

Look, I ain’t tryna be a victim or a saint,

Just tryna find peace in a world that ain’t.

But the louder I shout, the more I fade,

Like I'm buried alive in the mess I made.

(Hook)

This ain’t a life, it’s a sentence I serve,

Locked in a mind that no one deserves.

I scream but it echoes, no one believes,

I’m trapped in a cell that don’t come with keys.

(Bridge)

Yeah, fate don't flinch when you beg for a break,

It just laughs while you drown in the wake.

And I'm tired of pretending I’m fine,

When every step I take feels like walkin' a line.

(Outro)

So if you see me with a fake grin on,

Just know I’ve been fightin’ this war too long.

And if life’s a prison, then maybe I’m free,

The day I stop feelin' anything in me.
