Locked Rage

[Intro – tense, brooding silence breaking into a slow guitar riff] Crack in the frame I thought was strong Shadow where your smile belonged [Verse 1 – simmering resentment, tight controlled energy] We swore we’d carry each other’s scars Said we’d keep out the dark You held my hand through the worst of it all Then you let the walls fall [Verse 2 – growing frustration, sharp edge to the mood] I gave you every secret I had Told you all the parts I was sad You turned around and sold them for gold Left me out in the cold [Pre-Chorus – building tension, rising anger] The words you said were all just lies I can’t believe I closed my eyes Now every memory’s a knife Twisting deep inside my life [Chorus – explosive release, raw unfiltered rage] I’ve got this rage locked up in my chest Every breath’s a battle I can’t suppress You took my trust and turned it to dust I’m burning up but I can’t combust [Interlude, Instrumental Solo – distorted guitar wail, thunderous drum fills] [Verse 3 – bitter reflection, hollow ache] I still see your face in the crowd Still hear your voice when I’m proud It’s a ghost that won’t let me rest A wound that won’t let me dress [Verse 4 – quiet fury, coiled like a spring] I don’t yell and I don’t fight I just hold it all inside Every day’s a quiet war I can’t take anymore [Pre-Chorus – mounting pressure, breaking point near] The silence’s louder than any scream I’m drowning in a broken dream You stole my peace and left me mean Trapped in this endless scene [Chorus Reprise – amplified intensity, vocal grit] I’ve got this rage locked up in my chest Every breath’s a battle I can’t suppress You took my trust and turned it to dust I’m burning up but I can’t combust [Bridge – vulnerable yet fierce, raw honesty] I don’t want to hate you, I swear But the pain’s too much to bear I lock it tight so no one sees The mess you made of me [Final Chorus – all-out emotional explosion, cathartic release] I’ve got this rage locked up in my chest Every breath’s a battle I can’t suppress You took my trust and turned it to dust I’m burning up but I can’t combust I’ll carry this weight till the day I die You left a mark that won’t go dry [Outro – fading guitar, lingering bitterness] Crack in the frame I thought was strong Shadow where your smile belonged
