Claustrophonic

Slide back slow, spine hits the rail
White lights hum like I'm trapped in jail
Tech says breathe, but my chest say no
Brain runnin' laps while my limbs won't go

Click-click-clang, sound cuttin' through
Steel tube hummin' like it's hurtin' you
Close my eyes, try to fade to black
But the weight of the scan keeps pullin' me back

Air thin, thoughts thick, can't stretch out
Feels like I'm buried but I'm still above ground
Stuck in this tube with a war in my veins
Prayin' this scan don't show new flames

Half hour deep, still silent, still steel
Nothin' but magnets and raw nerve will
If the body's a cage, then the mind's a key
But the lock ain't budgin', not for free

Claustrophonic, breath don't flow
Claustrophonic, steel halo
Claustrophonic, locked in tight
Claustrophonic, mind on fight

Heartbeat loud like a kick drum's rage
Whole life shrinkin' in a steel rib cage
Pulse in my throat, can't swallow fear
Echoes of sickness bang both ears

Mind play tricks when the world shut tight
See faces in the dark, feel the flicker of light
Countin' each buzz like it's tollin' a bell
Feelin' my soul in a magnetic cell

Can't twitch, can't scream, can't itch my skin
Just locked with the ghosts that rattle within
Hear my own breath like it ain't my own
Trapped with my thoughts in a flesh-made zone

Is this hell or a test or a mirror of fate?
Would they even hear me if I broke this crate?
But I'm still here, still sharp in the grime
Claustrophonic, stuck in time

Claustrophonic, breath don't flow
Claustrophonic, steel halo
Claustrophonic, locked in tight
Claustrophonic, mind on fight

Claustrophonic, breath don't flow
Claustrophonic, steel halo
Claustrophonic, locked in tight
