In this Poetic Lyrical Thought Dump, I use words and sounds to convey a blend of raw emotion, vulnerability, and vivid imagery, almost like stream-of-consciousness. Notice a strong sense of frustration, tension, and introspection woven throughout—with striking contrasts between softness and sharpness—pain and reflection. The journey takes us from pain and entrapment to defiance and self-liberation.



Verse 1: Locked my fingers in jail, epic fail

these are the times, I can’t deny,

You bother me;

drunk texts flood my mind

No sense of time; just crossing lines

If you wanna punch me in the face

i’ll turn my cheek, give you space

One more shot: complete your rhyme

but this shine of mine is so divine


Pre-Chorus: Toxic taste, I can’t erase

Clothes off, your shadow’s still in the space

Hands tied to the chair, hair everywhere,

grip's still there, get me out of here


Chorus: Don’t stare, I’m rare

Locked up, tower tall

all Right before I lost it all

Crazy calls, watched me fall

But you’re not worth the climb at all

Toxic taste, touch her face

I’m breaking free, won’t retrace

Take my shine, one last timeI’ve found my light, and it’s mine


Verse 2:

Every bruise fades in the light of dawn

But scars you left linger on and on

Rebound love, a fast escapeTrading one prison for another’s embrace

Thought I could numb the pain with you

But I’m drowning in shades of blue (here too?)

Angst and fear in every kiss

I lost my way, but not like this


Pre-Chorus 2:

Toxic touch, I’ve had enough

Chains you left me in, I’ll break them rough

Her eyes stare back, but I don’t care

I’m free now, I’ve cut the snare


Chorus: Don’t stare, I’m rare

Locked up, tower all

Right before I lost it all

Crazy calls, watched me fall

But you’re not worth the climb at all

toxic taste, touch her face

I’m breaking free, won’t retrace

Take my shine, one last time

I’ve found my light, and it’s mine


Bridge:The fall was deep, but I’m standing now

Climbing out, each step one of your broken vows

You tried to tear me down, break my will

But freedom’s here, and I’m standing stillI

lost it all, but now I rise

No more tears, no more lies


Chorus (Outro): Don’t stare, I’m rare

Locked up, tower tall

But I survived the final fall

Crazy calls, no longer haunt

I’ve found the strength to confront

Toxic taste, your hand erased

I’m breaking free, no time to waste

Take my shine, one last time

This light I’ve found, it’s only mine


Chorus (Outro):

Don’t stare, I’m rare

Locked up, tower tall

But I survived the final fall

Crazy call

Drop the ball

Toxic taste, 

Time erased

no time to waste

one last time

it’s only mine
