The Grip Tightens

[Verse]
A taste so sweet, just a harmless sip,
Thought I could handle it, let it slide, let it slip,
A spark in the shadows, a whisper in the breeze,
Promises of calm, but it starts to tease.

[Chorus]
Chains made of silk, now they’re iron, they cling,
What was a whisper turns to a sting,
Pulling me deeper, no ladder, no rope,
Wrapped in the web, strangling hope.

[Verse 2]
It kissed my lips, said, “One more won’t harm,”
A serpent’s embrace, it charmed with its charm,
The mirror don’t lie, but I turn away,
Thought I held the leash, now I’m the prey.

[Bridge]
Heartbeat quickens, a race I can’t win,
The walls close in, the room starts to spin,
Every escape, a circle I trace,
Addiction’s a shadow I can’t outpace.

[Chorus]
Chains made of silk, now they’re iron, they cling,
What was a whisper turns to a sting,
Pulling me deeper, no ladder, no rope,
Wrapped in the web, strangling hope.

[Verse 3]
Fingers raw from clawing the walls,
Screams unheard in these echoing halls,
The light feels far, but it flickers still,
The grip tightens, bending my will.
