[Verse 1 – female cleans, kühl & düster]
I’m running circles in a maze I didn’t choose,
every turn another trap they built to watch me lose.
Cold eyes watching from behind the mirrored glass,
counting every heartbeat like a number on a graph.
They never speak, they never move,
they just observe the scars I prove.
I’m tested, twisted, left to break —
a living record for their sake.
---
[Pre-Chorus – rising tension]
But I won’t fall into their hands…
I’m more than what they understand.
---
[Chorus – catchy, dunkel, modern]
I’m just a rat in the rotting maze —
but I still bite when I’m afraid.
You want me crawling on the floor?
Come see what teeth are FUCKING for.
I’m not your puppet, not your prey —
I’ll tear the wires out today.
If I go down inside this place…
I’ll take your shadows with me to the grave.
---
[Verse 2 – male screams, schwere Energie]
You starve me out, you break me down,
you wait to see if I will drown.
You call it science, call it fate —
but all I feel is hate you replicate.
You want submission?
CHOKE ON THAT.
You think I’m weak?
THEN FACE THE RAT.
You built this cage to see me crack —
now watch me push the fracture back.
---
[Pre-Chorus – dual vocals]
You think you know the end of me…
but I rewrite my destiny.
---
[Chorus – noch härter, mehr Drive]
I’m just a rat in the rotting maze —
but I still bite when I’m afraid.
You want me crawling on the floor?
Come see what teeth are FUCKING for.
I’m not your puppet, not your prey —
I’ll tear the wires out today.
If I go down inside this place…
I’ll take your shadows with me to the grave.

[ LONG Solo → Breakdown, fließend, aggressiv, kurzes, schneidendes Solo, sofortes Abreißen]
[SCREAM]
“CAGE BREAK!”
---
[Breakdown – ultrahart, modern, präzise]
YOU BUILT THIS LABYRINTH
TO WATCH ME FUCKING DIE —
BUT I’M THE ANIMAL
THAT LEARNS TO MULTIPLY.
I’LL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM,
KILL YOUR GOD,
TEAR OUT THE ROOT
OF EVERY FRAUD.
NO MORE EXPERIMENTS —
I’M DONE BEING TRAPPED.
NOW FACE THE MONSTER
YOU CREATED IN THE RAT.
---
[Final Chorus – female cleans + screams]
I’m just a rat in the rotting maze —
but I still bite when I’m afraid.
You want me crawling on the floor?
Come see what teeth are FUCKING for.
I’m not your puppet, not your prey —
I’ll tear the wires out today.
If I go down inside this place…
I’ll drag your shadows with me to the grave.
