Inside my own cage

Inside my own cage Room full of empty chairs One cup on the floor Cold stain on the ceiling I forgot what for Dust on the picture frames Faces turned to gray I breathe like I'm apologizing For staying another day This quiet collapse Slow-motion fall I drown in the dark No waves at all If I disappear Would anything change? I'm cracking in silence Inside my own cage Clock hands dragging rust Paint peeled from the door My name sounds like an echo I don't know it anymore I talk to the shadow It answers with my voice Says "You could leave tonight" I just don't make the choice This quiet collapse Slow-motion fall I drown in the dark No waves at all If I disappear Would anything change? I'm cracking in silence Inside my own cage I keep my grief Folded small Tucked in the seams Of these four walls If I let it out If I said its name Would it burn me clean Or just be the same? This quiet collapse Slow-motion fall I drown in the dark No waves at all If I disappear Call it nothing strange Just breaking forever Inside my own cage ..................................... 🎧 Check out my song: https://www.youtube.com/@VOCALFOG ..................................... #shoegaze #indierock #alternative #dreamrock #ambient #postrock #vocalfog
