Neural Harp - Ravel Lyrics

Woke up to the same old song
Another day where I play along
Put on the mask they want to see
Drowning in who they need me to be

Their words are chains, they bind me tight
I lose myself in this endless fight
In the mirror, a stranger stares
A face that's lost, a heart that cares

I'm tangled in these expectations
Caught in webs of their dictations
A prisoner to the roles I play
Silent screams that fade away

At night, the silence cuts so deep
Whispers of dreams I couldn't keep
Beneath the mask, my soul's unrest
A weary heart that's second-best

They mold me into shapes unknown
A puppet carved from flesh and bone
In the quiet, I feel the strain
The weight of every hidden pain

I'm tangled in these expectations
Caught in webs of their dictations
A prisoner to the roles I play
Silent screams that fade away

I find a tear, in the dark
A sign of life beneath the fear
Trapped in the maze of their demands
I clutch my heart with trembling hands

I'm tangled in these expectations
Caught in webs of their dictations
A prisoner to the roles I play
Silent screams that fade away

Morning comes, I paint the smile
Another day, another mile
But deep inside, a voice remains
Whispering the truth amidst the chains
