Trap (RC)

Verse: Dm7 to Em7b5 (xx5756, hammer/pull-off between 5,6,7 on high e string, critical to melody)
Chorus: Dm Cm Bbm
Bridge: Something a little brighter to kinda change the mood, not quite sure yet

Trap

V1 Fallen...
Fallen in this darkened night
Broken...
I've lost my strength to fight

V2 So this is what is comes to
When you think you've got it all
You build up your castle
But in the end it's gonna fall

PC Well you think what's best for you
Is whatever you do or say
But in the end
There is a better way

C The foolishness of man
Will only bring you death
When you fight on your own
You're fighting against yourself
Running in circles
You think you're free
But you're trapped in a glass box
Open you eyes
And see the freedom that's outside

V3 Laying in this filth
Wretched, poor, and blind
There's got to be more
An escape of somekind

PC
C

B So step outside this box
Of self-importance
It's suffocating can't you see?
When you crucify your pride
You will be truly free
And free indeed

Chorus and/or Instrumental out

I like the change from first person to second, but to be honest, I've heard this song too many times before. I should know - I've written it too. The lyrics aren't striking enough to break out of the tired theme. You need more intense word-pictures. I'm not saying I do a better job, I'm saying you chose a theme that's been gone over and rehashed thousands of times and it's incredibly hard to come up with something good in this theme.
