Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro — soft / spoken] Not every cage was built for me… Some… I chose quietly. ⸻ [Verse 1] Sitting still while my hands are held, dust falling slow in silence… Counting seconds I could be moving, learning patience I don’t like. They asked me, “What color?” I said it without thinking twice… Neutral, something that disappears — something that blends with time. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I knew exactly what I was doing… Nothing was forcing me — I was choosing. ⸻ [Chorus] Trap by choice… I could leave, but I stay… Not every stillness is something to escape. I chose the version that fades away… I wasn’t trapped — I decided to stay. ⸻ [Verse 2] I’ve done this before — I know the line, where polish meets what grows… Half and half, it starts to show, but I let it run its course. I cut it slowly, adjust the shape, make it fit my days… Calling it practical, calling it smart — but I’m repeating ways. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2] I see the pattern, I know the game… Nothing is holding me — I stayed the same. ⸻ [Chorus] Trap by choice… every door was there… I chose the comfort of something familiar. Blending the edges, soft in the noise… I wasn’t trapped — I was making the choice. ⸻ [Bridge — stripped / intimate] No chains… no walls… Just me afraid to change it all. If I move now… what do I lose? If I stay here… it’s still my choice. ⸻ [Final Chorus — awakened] Trap by choice… I see it clear now… Every quiet “later” was hiding somehow. No more blending, no more avoiding the voice… If I stay again — it will still be my choice. ⸻ [Outro — whisper] And this time… I know it.
