Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Quiet room Teeth in my tongue I fold my hands Til the shaking’s done Bite down hard On the words I taste Every heartbeat Hammering the cage in my chest [Pre-Chorus] I draw lines on the walls Say "you stay on that side" But your claws drag through paint Straight into my spine [Chorus] I built a cage made of my own ribs Locked you down deep where the light never lives Whispered "be still" While you rattled my bones I keep losing this war To the wolf I own To the wolf I own (hey!) [Verse 2] Sleep in armor Boots by the bed Dreams run red With the things you’ve said Your hunger howls Through my careful grin Every apology Is just a ripped-out stitch [Pre-Chorus] My hands shake when I pray But you answer instead You say "let me out once" And it roars in my head [Chorus] I built a cage made of my own ribs Locked you down deep where the light never lives Whispered "be still" While you rattled my bones I keep losing this war To the wolf I own [Bridge] [Breakdown kicks in Tempo drops Guitars slam to half-time chugs] Chain marks All over my heart Every good intention Coming apart (tear it apart) You’re laughing in the dark I’m cracking at the seams I feel your fingers on my face Ripping through my teeth [Breakdown] Let it out Let it out (I can’t hold you down) Let it out Let it out Hear the tendons sound Bars bend Lungs burn Eye whites blacken You step through my skin And you never look back [Chorus] I tore the cage out of my own ribs Let you run wild where the light never lives Now every word’s a wound Every breath is a growl You were always the truth I was only the mouth [Outro] You wear my face Like a dead man’s mask I’m a voice in the attic You nailed shut fast If anyone asks Who swallowed the key Tell them the beast broke free And it’s calling itself me

Emotional metalcore, male vocals, starting with clean guitars and distant ambience that build into double-time drums and thick rhythm stacks. Verses lean on strained cleans over syncopated chugs; each section adds weight—screams, octave leads, and harsher distortion. Final chorus breaks into full-on fry screams with gang vocals and china-heavy breakdown, drums pushing to a frantic climax before a sudden, echoing cut., metalcore, emotional, breaks
