Intro – Piano + soft violin, dark]
(Whispered, desperate)
I’m trapped in your storm,
Every touch a pain, every glance a knife.
There is no escape… only darkness.
[Verse 1 – Rap, slow, oppressive]
Your words cut deep, I feel them like scars,
Structures of lies crushing me day by day.
Every smile a trick, every hug a cage,
My soul screams, but no one hears me.
You play me like a puppet on strings,
Every step watched, every breath controlled.
I lose myself bit by bit,
I am your property, trapped in nothingness.
[Pre-Chorus – sung, piano + violin rising]
I wanted to scream, but no sound comes out,
Trapped in darkness, no end in sight.
You say I am nothing, and I believe you,
And grief devours me, piece by piece.
[Chorus 1 – sung, dark, emotional]
I thought only death could set me free,
From the shadows you leave behind.
Every hope shatters like glass in my hands,
I drown in your game, no escape in sight.
You are all that remains,
And I exist only for you.
[Verse 2 – Rap, faster, desperate-angry]
Every touch burns like fire on my skin,
Every word a blow, every silence betrayal.
I am afraid of myself, afraid of what you do,
I lose the ground beneath me, I lose my courage.
I see my reflection, empty and strange,
Your control has devoured everything, even my heart.
My thoughts are prisons, my dreams a flight,
And even the darkness can barely save me now.
[Bridge – sung, epic, piano + strings, building tension]
But deep inside, a spark still flickers,
A little light you don’t want to see.
You want to break me, keep me small,
But somewhere out there is a piece of me that fights.
[Chorus 2 – sung, full power, choir in the background]
I thought only death could set me free,
But now I feel the power inside.
I break the chains you laid on me,
The shadows of your violence fade…
You can’t hold me anymore,
I breathe… I am free.
[Finale / Outro – choir + full strings + piano]
(Epic, cathartic, choir carries the moment)
Shadows fade…
Chains break…
I am finally free…
Your grip is gone…
I breathe, I live…
