Lyrics
[Intro]
“I hear the walls breathe, the echo of your sigh
[Verse1]
Shadows crawl beneath the bed, a consistent realm of lies,
Fingers follow the razor line that paints my skin with doubt.
Your voice a sudden choke, a lullaby that drags me deeper,
Every promise cracked, a glass shard in my palm.
[Pre Chorus]
“You build these cages from the words you never say,
And when I try to breathe, you pull the air away.
[Chorus]
“NO WAY OUT! a guttural cry tearing through the haze,
“NO WAY OUT! the chorus of the bound and broken,
Torn between the silence and the storm you conjure,
I’m a stranger inside these walls, a soul you can’t kill.
[Verse2]
Your love is iron clad, a fist inside a steel glove,
I taste the iron riddled fear, the bitter after taste of love.
The mirror shows a stranger, a face I used to own,
Your smile a razor edge, cutting through my throat.
[Pre Chorus]
“You lace the night with poison, then call it sweet release,
But every sunrise finds me colder, a candle without flame.
[Chorus]
“NO WAY OUT!
“NO WAY OUT!
[Bridge]
“You said we were a story, a novel bound in blood,
But the chapters bleed, each page a bruise you ink.
I trace the seams of this cage, trying to find a crack,
Yet every step I take, the floor collapses underneath.
[Breakdown]
“Screaming in the dark, I’m drowning in your light,
A memory in your furnace, a man without a right.
Pull the trigger of your love, it fires endless night,
No way outmy heart’s a hostage, caught in endless fight!
[Final Chorus]
“NO WAY OUT! “NO WAY OUT!
“NO WAY OUT!
“No way no way no way
“When the walls finally breathe, will they whisper my name or keep me silent forever?
