Wet Cement

Verse 1:

They said “stand still,” but the ground kept shifting

Fresh‑poured rules and the weight kept lifting

My boots sank deep where the future should be

Every step a trap they designed for me

Hands on my shoulders, pushing me down

“Hold your pose, don’t make a sound”

But I felt the mix start to harden and set

And I swore I wouldn’t die in their wet cement

Pre‑Chorus:

You want me frozen

You want me bent

But I won’t cure

In your wet cement

Chorus:

Wet cement, trying to lock me in

But I break the mold you buried me in

You trace my outline like you own my intent

But I won’t be stuck in your wet cement

Wet cement, you can’t define my shape

I crack the surface every time I escape

You want me silent, compliant, spent

But I won’t be trapped in your wet cement

Verse 2:

You carve your names in the paths I’m walking

Claim my voice while the walls keep talking

Every rule’s a brick, every lie’s a frame

You build your kingdom on my shame

But I’m not your statue, I’m not your claim

I’m the fracture line you couldn’t tame

You tried to set me, but I won’t relent

I rise uneven from your wet cement

Pre‑Chorus:

You want me frozen

You want me bent

But I won’t cure

In your wet cement

Chorus:

Wet cement, trying to lock me in

But I break the mold you buried me in

You trace my outline like you own my intent

But I won’t be stuck in your wet cement

Wet cement, you can’t define my shape

I crack the surface every time I escape

You want me silent, compliant, spent

But I won’t be trapped in your wet cement

Bridge (slow, heavy, building):

I feel the pressure

I feel the weight

But I won’t harden

Into your fate

I’ll chip the edges

I’ll break the dent

I’ll rise unfinished

From wet cement

Final Chorus:

Wet cement, trying to lock me in

But I break the mold you buried me in

You trace my outline like you own my intent

But I won’t be stuck in your wet cement

Wet cement, you can’t define my shape

I crack the surface every time I escape

You want me silent, compliant, spent

But I won’t be trapped in your wet cement
