Built my world in polished steel
Call it comfort
Call it real
Signed my name beneath the lie
Told myself I'm satisfied
Every rule I learned to play
Filed the edges off my rage
Smiled wide for every stage
Tamed the fire
Locked the cage
Nice and clean
Well-behaved
Safe and numb
Underpaid
I locked the monster I made
Inside a golden cage
Tonight I let it out
Let it rage
No more calm
No more grace
No more mask
On my face
I locked the monster I made
Tonight I let it rage
Comfort comes with quiet chains
Luxury that dulls the brain
Scroll it down
Ignore the flames
Everything's a different name
Be mature
Don't overreact
Stay composed
Don't fight back
Every word just stacks and stacks
Pressure building in the cracks
Teeth don't show
Voices fade
Keep it smooth
Keep it safe
I locked the monster I made
Inside a golden cage
Tonight I let it out
Let it rage
No more calm
No more grace
No more mask
On my face
I locked the monster I made
I locked the monster I made
Tonight
I fed it silence
Fed it doubt
Fed it everything
To keep it down
But gold still bends
When heat gets loud
And something's breaking
Out right now
I locked the monster I made
Inside a golden cage
Tonight I let it out
Let it rage
Let it tear
Let it break
Let it burn
What we fake
I locked the monster I made
Now watch it rage
