A Glitch In The Matrix

My Last Goodbye

Crossing Over

“DROWNING”

Verse 1:
Waves crash, pull me under,
Can’t breathe, lost in thunder.
Every step feels like a fight,
Drowning deeper in the night.

Pre-Chorus:
No escape, no way out,
Suffocating in my doubt.
Can’t scream, can’t run,
Nowhere left, nowhere to turn.

Chorus:
I’m drowning—can’t break free,
Water’s rising over me.
Reaching out but no one’s there,
Sinking slow in my despair.

Verse 2:
Mirror shows a hollow face,
Trapped inside this empty space.
Every scar, every lie,
Another weight, I’m sinking by.

(Repeat Pre-Chorus & Chorus)

Bridge:
Tired arms, slipping fast,
How much longer can I last?
One more breath, one more chance,
Will I sink, or will I stand?

(Final Chorus & Outro)

Drowning

[Verse 1]
Red ties tighter than the truth they choke,
Preachin’ freedom — but it’s all a joke.
Cabinet clowns with their circus grin,
Sellin’ out the crowd while they cash it in.

[Pre-Chorus]
Spin the wheel of scandals,
Guess which fool will fall —
Another mask, same circus,
But the joke’s on us all.

[Chorus]
Welcome to the cabinet of liars and thieves,
A carnival of clowns who will never believe.
Truth’s locked outside while the puppets all grin,
And the house of hypocrisy keeps caving in.

[Verse 2]
“Law and order!” while they bend the law,
“Power to the people!” with their hands in the maw.
Stars and stripes on a plastic crown,
Patriot kings in a paper town.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every headline’s twisted,
Every promise fake —
They build a throne of ashes,
On the backs they break.

[Chorus]
Welcome to the cabinet of liars and thieves,
A carnival of clowns who will never believe.
Truth’s locked outside while the puppets all grin,
And the house of hypocrisy keeps caving in.

[Bridge – Breakdown, Mocking Chant]
“Freedom’s for sale! — Who’ll pay the most?
Justice is dead! — Let’s raise a toast!
Leaders or jesters? — Can’t tell them apart,
They sold us the circus, and called it ‘heart.’”

[Final Chorus – screamed with full rage]
Welcome to the cabinet of liars and thieves,
A carnival of clowns who will never believe.
We’re laughing through fury, our patience is thin,
As the house of hypocrisy comes crashing in.

Clowns in The Cabinet

Clowns in the Cabinet

Dark nights, ghostly shadows, cobwebs, trick or treat 👻 

Pumpkins grinning wide Sharp-tooth smiles 
Ghosts floatin' in the midnight aisles 
Shadows crawl Creep and twist 
Is it real or just a Halloween trick? 

Pumpkin parade Ghost charade 
Laughing' loud in the masquerade 
Spooky funny Crazy scene 
Welcome to the Halloween dream 

Black cats screech The witches fly 
Moon's cracked open in the bleeding sky 
Skeletons dance 
Their bones click clack Candy in my hand 
Monsters at my back 

Pumpkin parade Ghost charade 
Laughing' loud in the masquerade 
Spooky funny Crazy scene 
Welcome to the Halloween dream 

Creeping' laughter in the air 
Cobwebs tangle everywhere 
Tricks or treats Take your pick 
Halloween madness Dark and slick 

Pumpkin parade Ghost charade 
Laughing' loud in the masquerade 
Spooky funny Crazy scene 
Welcome to the Halloween dream
