DullBlah[Intro]
(Slide Guitar, Atmospheric Pad, Whispered Female Voice)
"Cage... the pain..."
(Short Instrumental Pause)
[Verse 1]
(Acoustic Guitar Loop, Finger Snaps, Deep Male Rap)
I haven't been sleeping well lately.
Sitting here alone, not even tired
Wishin' the reason why was bein' wired
Wonderin' why I haven't been fired
Hated this job since the day I got hired
Barely pays enough to put food on the plate
One good thing? Lost a lot of weight
But now my spine's begun to deteriorate
Leaves me in a bad mental state
[Chorus]
(B**t Drop, Heavy 808 Bass, Anthemic Male Vocals)
I don't like having thoughts like these.
Though my mind says it's time to resign
And the end seems like a clean design
I still believe that my story is mine
I won't let my own pain sever the line!
Yeah, I won't let it sever the line.
[Verse 2]
(Banjo Sample, Fast Trap Hi-Hats, Rhythmic Male Rap)
Control is something I no longer have.
Hands tremble, lose their grip, start to slip
Lose my balance, feel my ankle rip
Memory fadin', startin' to skip
Know these are things related to age
Makes me want to yell out in rage
But I keep that locked up tight in a cage
Instead, I write these words on a blank page
[Chorus]
(Heavy 808 Bass, Anthemic Male Vocals)
I don't like having thoughts like these.
Though my mind says it's time to resign
And the end seems like a clean design
I still believe that my story is mine
I won't let my own pain sever the line!
[Bridge]
(Stripped Back, Dark Synth Pad, Gritty Male Vocals)
I can't handle this pain anymore.
Pray to a god I don't even know
Hopin' mercy is somethin' he'll show
But they're just empty prayers, I know
Gods are stories created long ago
Don't want a bunch of daily medication
Pharmaceuticals got a reputation
Killin' your liver in slow saturation
Too many pills, poisonin' the nation
[Verse 3]
(Building Intensity, Distorted Rock Guitars, Intense Male Vocals)
I don't want to die from a failed liver.
Nor do I want to always live in pain
Watchin' my health go down the drain
Mental prowess startin' to wane
Whole damn life washin' down the drain
Disability's somethin' I never did desire
Want to work until I can retire
These thoughts burn like wildfire
As the pain levels keep gettin' higher!
[Chorus]
(Full Band - Heavy 808, Rock Guitars, Anthemic Vocals)
I don't like having thoughts like these!
Though my mind screams it's time to resign
And the end seems like a clean design
I still believe that my story is mine!
I won't let my own pain sever the line!
No, I won't let it sever the line!
[Outro]
(Fading Acoustic Guitar, Gentle Piano, Male Crooning)
Sever the line...
I won't let my own pain sever the line...
Cage the pain...
Sever the line...
(Fade out completely)
