Internal Lockdown

(whispers)

No doors… no light… no end in sight…

Trapped inside the echo…

Mind like a maze made of razors and glass

Every thought cut deep when I try to pass

Neurons spark like a live wire storm

Short-circuit soul in a broken form

Chest like a vault with a bomb in the core

Tick-tick-ticking—hear it beg for war

Breath like smoke from a burned-out fuse

Every inhale feels like I’m lighting the noose

I’m a puppet with strings made of panic and doubt

Every move I make gets yanked inside out

Running in circles like a dog on a chain

But the chain’s in my skull, yeah it’s bolted to pain

I’m breaking down, down, down—like a cracked foundation

World caves in with a sick vibration

No way out, I’m buried in sound

Like a coffin of echoes pulling me down

I’m breaking down, down, down—like a snapped-off lever

Stuck in a storm I can’t outweather

No way out, I’m lost and I’m bound

In a nightmare loop that keeps spinning me ‘round

Eyes like screens with a flickering feed

Every frame glitch out what I think I need

Blood like oil in a rusted machine

Heart misfire, leaking kerosene

Teeth grind gears in a factory skull

Where the thoughts get stamped till they’re all just null

Voice like a ghost in a shattered hall

Try to scream but it bends through the walls

I’m a mirror that’s cracked in a thousand ways

Every shard got a version I can’t erase

Shadow stitched to me, sewn in tight

Like a parasite feeding on fear at night

I’m breaking down, down, down—like a cracked foundation

World caves in with a sick vibration

No way out, I’m buried in sound

Like a coffin of echoes pulling me down

I’m breaking down, down, down—like a snapped-off lever

Stuck in a storm I can’t outweather

No way out, I’m lost and I’m bound

In a nightmare loop that keeps spinning me ‘round

(industrial distortion / choir chanting)

NO—WAY—OUT

NO—WAY—OUT

I’m a glitch in a loop that won’t time out

BREAK—ME—DOWN

BREAK—ME—DOWN

Like a tower of bones when the lights go out

I’M A CAGE

I’M THE KEY

I’M THE LOCK THAT’S EATING ME

I CAN’T RUN

I CAN’T HIDE

I’M A GRAVE ON THE INSIDE

Brain like a battlefield soaked in static

Every thought detonate automatic

Hope like a thread getting pulled too tight

Snap—now I’m falling through endless night

Spine like a ladder with broken rungs

Climb all I want but I’m stuck where I’m from

Time like tar, yeah it traps my feet

Every second I move sinks me deeper beneath

I’m a house made of screams with no doors to leave

Every room just repeats what I can’t unsee

If I am this hell, then I built the walls

Now I’m buried alive while the silence calls

(choir fades / distorted whisper)

No exit… no ending…

Just a mind that eats itself…

Alive in the nightmare… forever…
