[Lyric] Claustrophobia (Cass Forest)

[Verse 1]
I was born with wings to fly
Fly high up into the sky
Oh I would never touch the ground
Suddenly I felt chains make links
Suddenly, my confidence shrinks
My voice grows quiet there is no sound

[Chorus 1]
And now I'm trapped in a box of all my insecurities
And now I feel all the walls closing into me
The claustrophobia sets in
Oh, I feel my heart rate rise
Oh, I feel my breath is growing thin

[Verse 2]
The only thing I do is look at the sky
I look around me and I wonder why
Why did they get to pull me down
Oh, they hold my chains, they remove my wings
Around my wrists, they tie their puppet strings
As they don their broken slighted crown
[Chorus 2]
And now I'm trapped in a box of all my insecurities
And now I feel all the walls closing into me
The claustrophobia sets in
Oh, I feel my heart rate rise
Oh, I feel my breath is growing thin

[Bridge]
Oh, I wish, I wish that I was free again
But the words I said to you were ones I didn't intend
I don't, I don't need your voice right now
I want my wings back somehow
So I cut off all your strings
No, I don't know what the future will bring
So I will stand, firm in my belief
And get away from you the thief

[Chorus 3]
Cause I've been trapped in a box of all my insecurities
And I had felt all the walls closing into me
The claustrophobia set in
Oh, I felt my heart rate rise
Oh, I feel my breath slow down

[Chorus 4]
Because I'm free from a box of all my insecurities
I have escaped all the walls suffocating me
The claustrophobia is gone somehow
Oh, I seem to be just fine
But I don't know what to do now
