[Verse 1]
Same couch
Same ash on my jeans
Same laugh I repeat
’Cause they expect that scene
Pass the bag
Pass the time
Pass the day
I’m in the room with my boys
Still a mile away
Voices in the corner
Countin’ every breath I take
Tryna act normal
Like my hands don’t shake
I joke loud
So they don’t see my fear
I’m here in the circle
But I’m not really here
[Chorus]
Unlock this cage
Show me what’s possible
More than this haze
More than the usual
I’m tired of runnin’ in place
Tired of numb and avoidable
Open my days
Open my ways
Show me what’s possible
[Verse 2]
I love them
But they don’t know what it costs
How many nights I’ve been drowning in the talk
They say “light up”
I say “yeah” ’cause it’s easy
Hard part’s sayin’ “nah
That sh– really bleeds me”
What if we linked up
And my mind stayed clear
Would they still call my phone
Would they still be here
Coffee in the morning
Walks in the park
Slow pace
Board games
Bad jokes
Still the same face
I wanna paint with somebody
Hit a thrift
Find fits
Sit in silence with a friend
That doesn’t feel like a risk
[Chorus]
Unlock this cage
Show me what’s possible
More than this haze
More than the usual
I’m tired of runnin’ in place
Tired of numb and avoidable
Open my days
Open my ways
Show me what’s possible
[Bridge]
I can say “one blunt
I’m good” (I’m good)
I can say “ay
Let’s cook
Let’s eat”
Text one friend
“you free for a walk?”
If they flake
That don’t cancel me
I am not my diagnosis
Not that bag in rotation
I’m allowed to move different
Still deserve conversation
[Chorus]
Unlock this cage
Show me what’s possible
More than this haze
More than the usual
I’m tired of runnin’ in place
Tired of numb and avoidable
Open my days
Open my ways
Show me what’s possible (yeah)
[Outro]
One step
One call
One try
If they don’t ride
I’ll survive
’Cause I’m still here
Still breathin’
Still audible
Heart saying soft in my chest
“More is possible”
