Pressure Cage

"Pressure Cage" [Verse 1] Tick-tock, hands move, but I stay in place Deadlines creeping up, like a high-speed chase Pages pile up, can’t catch my breath Society’s script got me fearing what’s next Parents say, “Get that grade or fall” Teachers preach, “Rise or lose it all” But the weight on my chest is a thousand tons Every step feels like a loaded gun --- [Pre-Chorus] I’m trapped in a loop, no room to break Pressure’s a monster, it keeps me awake No time for dreams, just marks and ranks But I ain’t a robot, I’m done with these chains --- [Chorus] Ohhh, can’t breathe, walls closing in Lost in the noise, where do I begin? They say "run faster," but I’m losing track If I fall once, there’s no coming back --- [Verse 2] Night turns day, but I don’t see light Just a screen, a desk, and a future so tight Numbers decide if I'm worth the fight But who made these rules, and why’s that right? Success ain’t chains, it’s what I define But they paint my path with a rigid line I’m more than scores, I’m more than stats I break the mold, I don’t play like that --- [Bridge] Pressure cage, but I hold the key No more rules, I'm setting me free Let the echoes fade, let my voice be loud I make my way, I’m done with the crowd --- [Final Chorus] Ohhh, can’t breathe, walls closing in Lost in the noise, where do I begin? They say "run faster," but I’m losing track If I fall once, there’s no coming back (Outro) Tick-tock, hands move, but I change the game No more shadows, I light my flame...
