Cornered

[Verse 1]
Cold floor, four walls close in
No light, just the echo of sin
I chew the silence like broken glass
Waitin' for the next storm to pass

[Pre-Chorus]
No one’s clean in a place like this
You either bleed or you cease to exist

[Chorus]
Stand in the corner and scream with me
No heroes here, just agony
We don’t pray, we just bleed
Stand in the corner and scream with me

[Verse 2]
You wear your mask, I wear my skin
Peel it back, let the rot begin
I’m not okay, and I never was
But I’ve learned to live with the static buzz

[Pre-Chorus]
Pain’s a friend I never chose
But it’s the only one that never goes

[Chorus]
Stand in the corner and scream with me
No salvation, no sympathy
We don’t run, we just freeze
Stand in the corner and scream with me

[Bridge – Spoken/Distorted]
Tell me it hurts. Tell me it’s real.
Tell me I’m not the only one who feels.
(Just feel something...)

[Breakdown – Screamed]
Spit out the lies, choke on the shame!
This world’s a cage — we’re not insane!

[Final Chorus – Aggressive]
Stand in the corner and scream with me
Let the whole world see our disease
We’re the damned, we’re the free
Stand in the corner and scream with me

[Outro – Whispered, fading]
Scream with me...
Scream with me...
