Uncaged

(Atmospheric sound of a distant, warped carousel)(Slow, haunting music box melody starts)(Sound of a heavy iron cage door creaking open)(Whispered vocals)

Twisted Circus...I see you...

(Sudden glitchy riser builds tension)(Beat snaps in with a sharp snare)

The show you put on is now over, the end

I’m done playing roles, I don’t need a friend

Now I see through your games, I see through the cracks

No more weight of your world on my tired back

I don’t need a man, and I don’t need a clown

I’m burning the tent, watch it all fall down

I’m the master of peace, the queen of the night

Step out of the shadows and into my light

I’m an animal, baby, and I can’t be tamed

I deserve to be free, no longer ashamed

Let the animals out, no need to be caged

The leader of the show, I’ve finally emerged

(Vocal chops): "Tamed... Tamed... I can't be..."

(Heavy, distorted 808s kick in)(Gritty, wobbling synth lead follows a circus-style minor scale)(Fast melodic glitch stutters)(Sound of shattering glass and heavy mechanical stomps)

Boy, you make me laugh when you think I’ll cry

You’re running on empty, your fountain is dry

You could care less how I feel, it’s all in your head

I’m rewriting the script, leave the old one for dead

I see your disguise, yeah, I see the mask

Keeping me quiet was too big a task

I’m the leader of this show, standing alone

A wild heart reclaimed, sitting on my own throne

I’m an animal, baby, and I can’t be tamed

I deserve to be free, no longer ashamed

Let the animals out, no need to be caged

The leader of the show, I’ve finally emerged

(Half-time tempo shift, melodic and ethereal)(Pluck synths that sound like falling rain)

Bye bye...Go on, tell me more lies

(Pitch-shifted vocal)

Tell me more lies...

(Intense, rapid-fire snare roll builds up)

(Distorted voice screams)

LET THEM OUT!

(Aggressive Hybrid Trap rhythm)(High-pitched, "screeching" carnival lead)(Heavy syncopation with deep, metallic growls)

(Vocal loops:)

"I'm an animal... animal... animal..."

(The heavy bass fades into a lone, glitchy synth)(The music box melody from the intro returns, but distorted)

I’m better off on my own...My own life...(Sound of a spotlight clicking off)

(Silence)
