(Verse 1) Stuck in this chair, a throne of steel and sorrow Every single day, the same damn tomorrow They see a broken man, a hollow shell to pity But there’s a fire burning, a rage within this city Trapped in this flesh that won’t obey my mind...

Losing Control
(A laid-back reggae beat with a heavy, driving bassline starts. A smooth, rhythmic hi-hat and snare pattern underpins the groove. A melodic, slightly distorted guitar plays a simple, repeating riff.) (Verse 1 – Rapper) Yo, the sun is blazing down, but I’m lost in the shade Another day...

I don’t know who I’ve become!
(Fast, upbeat pop-punk guitar riff kicks in, with a driving, simple drum beat) (Verse 1) Woke up in a cold sweat, tangled in my sheets Another day begins, another fast-forward on the streets They’re all smiling, laughing, living in the light But my brain’s a radio that’s lost...

Battle Within
Beneath the surface, calm I try to feign, A steady heartbeat, but a tremor in my vein. The looming surgery, a shadow in my mind, Where hope and fear in constant battle bind. Will anesthesia hold, will I wake anew? A million questions whispered, tinged with blue. The...

Still Life
Still life, they call it, this vessel I’m in, But storms rage within, unseen from the skin. Muscles may falter, my grip may be weak, But the heart in this cage, oh, the feelings it speaks

This Weight
A weight unseen, a shadow cast, This feeling lingers, grips me fast. A burden carried, heavy heart, A constant thought that tears me apart. They say kind words, with gentle touch, But doubt remains, I fear too much. Am I a drag, a darkened cloud, A weight that...
