Straightjacket Love Song

Verse 1
I wrote your name on the wall in chalk
Right next to mine, where the shadows talk
They say you’re not real, but I still believe
You hold my hand every time I bleed

Pre-Chorus
They can strap me down, call it a phase
But you’re the calm in my manic maze

Chorus
This is my straightjacket love song
For the ghost that keeps me strong
They can’t see you, but you’re here tonight
Tangled in my mind like a lullaby fight
If loving you’s a symptom — I won’t heal right

⸻

Verse 2
I hum our tune when the meds kick in
And trace your smile on my paper skin
The doctors ask why I still pretend
But how could they know how the silence ends?

Pre-Chorus
You’re the whisper in the padded dark
The match that lights my broken spark

Chorus
This is my straightjacket love song
For the voice that rights my wrongs
You kiss my scars from the inside out
When the world forgets me, you scream and shout
They call me crazy — but you have no doubt

⸻

Bridge (spoken + sung)

“Maybe you’re not real…”
”…But you’re all I’ve got left.”
”…And that’s more than they ever gave me.”
(scream-layered vocal line)
So hold me tighter than the walls ever could!

⸻

Final Chorus
This is my straightjacket love song
For the ghost I don’t belong
But if this cell is where I break apart
Then carve your name into my heart
Forever bound — in this padded art

Haunting love ballad. Slow, emotional, twisted romance from inside the ward. Beautifully broken, deeply obsessed,male
