Outsider - Caught In The Shadows

[Verse 1] Eyes on the ceiling Clock hands crawl like spiders Heart thumps, heavy in my chest Breath stuck, trapped in a whisper Street glow leaking through the blinds Dust in the air, slow storm Mind runs laps ’round yesterday Future feels frayed and torn [Chorus] I’m caught in the shadows, counting my fears Trying to breathe in the dark, through the years Slow it down, slow it down, let it be I’m chasing a quiet that’s running from me I’m caught in the shadows, counting my fears Trying to breathe in the dark, through the years Slow it down, slow it down, let it be I’m begging my thoughts to set me free [Verse 2] Phone screen, shining like a wound Bad news, scrolling like a prayer Friends say, “You good?” — I type “fine” But the truth hangs thick in the air Should’ve called my mother back Should’ve stayed, should’ve walked away Every choice a ghost at my shoulder Talking loud, same old refrain [Chorus] I’m caught in the shadows, counting my fears Trying to breathe in the dark, through the years Slow it down, slow it down, let it be I’m chasing a quiet that’s running from me I’m caught in the shadows, counting my fears Trying to breathe in the dark, through the years Slow it down, slow it down, let it be I’m begging my thoughts to set me free [Bridge] Inhale, hold it Exhale, fold it All of this noise in a single sigh (yeah) If I sit in the trembling Stop running, stop wrestling Could I learn how to rest in the night? [Chorus] I’m caught in the shadows, counting my fears Trying to breathe in the dark, through the years Slow it down, slow it down, let it be I’m chasing a quiet that’s running from me I’m caught in the shadows, counting my fears Trying to breathe in the dark, through the years Slow it down, slow it down, let it be I’m whispering peace till it answers me #newrap #newhiphop #trap #music #hits #Rap #HipHop #RapMusic #HipHopCulture #BoomBap #TrapMusic #ViralRap #MusicDiscovery #YouTubeMusic #UndergroundHipHop #UndergroundRap #2026Rap #2026HipHop
