Trapped Inside My Head (Official Visual)

This song is about living in your head too long.
Smiling when you’re drowning.
Wanting the stage but fearing the spotlight.

Trapped Inside My Head is for anyone battling anxiety, fear, self-doubt, and the pressure to “be normal.”

Lyrics:

Lights hum like they’re watching me
Walls breathe when I try to sleep
If this is the wave
Then I’m already under

I pray with my eyes open
So I don’t miss the fall
Ceiling’s full of fractures
Looks like faith cracked through the drywall
I learned how to disappear
While standing in a room
Smile stitched to my mouth
Like it’s something I’m supposed to do

Everybody’s moving forward
Like they got a map and a team
I’m tracing outlines of myself
Trying to look like something clean
If they zoom in too close
They’ll see the rust in my spine
I’m a house with the lights on
But nobody’s home inside

I rehearse being normal
Like it’s a role I should know
Every word feels borrowed
Every breath feels slow

I’m trapped inside my head
Running from reflections
Running from the bed
I’m trapped inside my head
Dodging all the silence
And the things I never said
I wanna ride the wave
But I’m scared I’ll be exposed
Scared they’ll see the cracks
When the spotlight gets too close

I don’t stand tall
I just don’t fall apart
Not yet

They laugh like it’s automatic
Like pain never taught them the lines
I choke on introductions
Before I ever say hi
They got anchors in their chests
I’m a body full of drift
Every step feels temporary
Like the floor might not exist

I watch success through glass
Like it’s warm on the other side
I tell myself “not now”
That’s how dreams slowly die
If I reach and miss the moment
That’s another scar to hide
So I stay here in the shadows
Calling fear “being realistic” tonight

Confidence tastes like a lie
But I swallow it anyway
Better fake being solid
Than admit I’m decaying

I’m trapped inside my head
Running from reflections
Running from the bed
I’m trapped inside my head
Dodging all the silence
And the things I never said
I wanna touch the stage
But my legs lock when I’m close
I’m scared I’ll be nobody
Once they finally know

The water’s in my lungs now
And the shore is out of sight
I keep promises to ghosts
Just to make it through the night
If I wait for perfect timing
I’ll rot where I stand
I’m not scared of failing
I’m scared of being seen as who I am

Hope feels like a rumor
I heard once, then forgot
I don’t need a miracle
I just need the noise to stop

Everybody says “be yourself”
Like that won’t cost me everything
If I take the mask off
Who’s left to clap?
Who’s left to stay?

I’m still inside my head
Still running from reflections
Still running from my bed
I’m still inside my head
Letting all the silence
Say the things I never said
I wanna ride the wave
Even if I’m torn apart
Even if the truth hits harder
Than never trying at all

If I never touch the stage
At least I learned the shape of fear
I didn’t stand tall
But I stayed here

Breathing
Barely
Still here

You don’t have to stand tall to survive.
Sometimes staying is enough.
