Stranger Walls

[Intro] (Heavy, distorted guitar riff fades in, drums build tension - slow, pounding b**t) [Verse 1] Door clicks shut, the air goes thin Familiar rooms, where do I begin? These walls feel cold, the pictures stare Like I'm a ghost just standing there Shadows crawl across the floor A welcome mat that locks the door Against my skin, this place I know The silence screams I gotta go Their sideways looks, the words unsaid A hollow space inside my head Where warmth should be, just biting frost Another soul completely lost [Chorus] STRANGER IN MY OWN DAMN HOME! (YEAH!) WHERE THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GO?! UNWANTED! UNSEEN! A BROKEN THING! CAN YOU HEAR THIS ANGER THAT I BRING?! (SCREAM IT!) THESE FOUR WALLS CLOSE IN ON ME! A PRISON WHERE I USED TO BE FREE! STRANGER! STRANGER! CAN'T YOU SEE?! THIS AIN'T MY HOME! IT'S KILLING ME! [Verse 2] Shared b***d runs cold, a bitter taste No common ground in this empty space My voice echoes, a foreign sound On hostile, unfamiliar ground They turn away, pretend I'm air Pretend they never saw me there A guest who stayed too long, it seems Trapped inside my own bad dreams The laughter dies when I walk near Replaced by tension, doubt, and fear A puzzle piece that doesn't fit This constant feeling I must quit [Chorus] STRANGER IN MY OWN DAMN HOME! (YEAH!) WHERE THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GO?! UNWANTED! UNSEEN! A BROKEN THING! CAN YOU HEAR THIS ANGER THAT I BRING?! (SCREAM IT!) THESE FOUR WALLS CLOSE IN ON ME! A PRISON WHERE I USED TO BE FREE! STRANGER! STRANGER! CAN'T YOU SEE?! THIS AIN'T MY HOME! IT'S KILLING ME! [Bridge] (Heavy breakdown - slow, crushing guitars and drums, guttural vocals) Is it me? Is it them? The lines all blur! This constant static, this low, sick purr... Of discontent... gnawing deep inside... No safe harbor, nowhere to hide! In this house... built on shifting sand... No one reaches out a hand! Just... LEAVE ME... ALONE! (Guttural roar) [Chorus] STRANGER IN MY OWN DAMN HOME! (YEAH!) WHERE THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GO?! UNWANTED! UNSEEN! A BROKEN THING! CAN YOU HEAR THIS ANGER THAT I BRING?! (SCREAM IT!) THESE FOUR WALLS CLOSE IN ON ME! A PRISON WHERE I USED TO BE FREE! STRANGER! STRANGER! CAN'T YOU SEE?! THIS AIN'T MY HOME! IT'S KILLING ME! [Outro] (Chorus riff repeats, vocals become more strained, almost desperate) Killing me... Killing me... Stranger... walls... closing... (Heavy riff slows down, becomes more dissonant) Unwanted... unseen... (Vocals fade to a raw whisper) Where... do I... belong? (Music cuts abruptly to silence)
