Toybox Prison
H
Hoodys Weatshirts
doubled hook lines
piano-led verses
Alternative pop ballad with half-time pulse
sparse bass and brushed drums; pre-chorus strips to intimate vocal and ticking percussion
chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a rising synth pad. Verse stays close-mic and fragile
pre-chorus swells with filtered strings
chorus lands with a chantable hook and a soft counter-melody. Breath touches
delayed ad-libs on key words
crackle and reversed swells between sections
warm but tense mix

Paroles
[Verse 1]
My mind's a bruise
My body's a cage
It all started young
When I learned to disengage
I hid in my toybox
Held my breath real still
Trying to outrun
What I couldn't heal
[Pre-Chorus]
Why'd you take her?
Why'd you leave me here?
I kept a small heart
Under all this fear
And every day
The walls got tight
I learned to vanish
Just to make it through the night
[Chorus]
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
I'm still here, I'm still here
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
Hold me near, hold me near
If you're real
Take the pain away
If you're real
Help me find my way
[Verse 2]
Cracks in my head
Like glass on the floor
I keep stepping back
Still I want more
Not of the ache
Not of the fall
I want one small light
To outshine it all
I don't want to disappear
I don't want this chain
I want a hand in mine
That can break the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
Why'd you take her?
Why'd you leave me here?
I kept a small heart
Under all this fear
And every day
The walls got tight
I learned to vanish
Just to make it through the night
[Chorus]
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
I'm still here, I'm still here
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
Hold me near, hold me near
If you're real
Take the pain away
If you're real
Help me find my way
[Bridge]
So if you see me
When I'm too far gone
Pull me back gentle
Keep me hanging on
Turn these tears
Into something new
Take me far from
What I reach for too
[Final Chorus]
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
I'm still here, I'm still here
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
Hold me near, hold me near
If you're real
Take the pain away
If you're real
Help me find my way
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
I'm still here, I'm still here
My mind's a bruise
My body's a cage
It all started young
When I learned to disengage
I hid in my toybox
Held my breath real still
Trying to outrun
What I couldn't heal
[Pre-Chorus]
Why'd you take her?
Why'd you leave me here?
I kept a small heart
Under all this fear
And every day
The walls got tight
I learned to vanish
Just to make it through the night
[Chorus]
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
I'm still here, I'm still here
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
Hold me near, hold me near
If you're real
Take the pain away
If you're real
Help me find my way
[Verse 2]
Cracks in my head
Like glass on the floor
I keep stepping back
Still I want more
Not of the ache
Not of the fall
I want one small light
To outshine it all
I don't want to disappear
I don't want this chain
I want a hand in mine
That can break the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
Why'd you take her?
Why'd you leave me here?
I kept a small heart
Under all this fear
And every day
The walls got tight
I learned to vanish
Just to make it through the night
[Chorus]
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
I'm still here, I'm still here
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
Hold me near, hold me near
If you're real
Take the pain away
If you're real
Help me find my way
[Bridge]
So if you see me
When I'm too far gone
Pull me back gentle
Keep me hanging on
Turn these tears
Into something new
Take me far from
What I reach for too
[Final Chorus]
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
I'm still here, I'm still here
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
Hold me near, hold me near
If you're real
Take the pain away
If you're real
Help me find my way
Toybox prison
Toybox prison
I'm still here, I'm still here
