Barricade

Chains on the gate, can't break my escape,

Concrete jungle, I'm the lion they hate.

Whispers in the dark, shadows move and quake,

Heart beats heavy like the drum, it shakes.

Ghosts in the rearview, smoke in my lane,

Breathing in the fire, exhaling the pain.

Stacked like Jenga, the pressure insane,

But I’m toppling towers, no dice in the game.

I hear 'em call, I hear 'em scream,

Barricades in my way, breaking the dream.

Barricade, barricade, standing in my way,

But I bulldoze through, every single day.

Barricade, barricade, I won't delay,

Break it down, break it down, nothing's here to stay.

Steel bars bending, minds keep pretending,

Brick by brick, all the lies they’re defending.

Skyline scars, jagged and descending,

Truth’s a blade, cutting through the unending.

Wolves on the prowl, I see 'em in the fog,

Howling at my name, but I’m shaking 'em off.

World’s a chessboard, pawns get lost,

But I’m the king, crown heavy with the frost.
