[Intro]
Shadows in the mirror, hiding what I can't display
Behind this mask of silence, I’m just drowning in the grey
[Verse 1]
Sixteen and feeling lost, in a world that's cold and bleak
Blazing trails in secret, hiding scars I never speak
Parents' words like thunder, breaking me apart inside
Found my solace in the darkness where my broken dreams can hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Laughing with the others, smiling through the pain
Fooling everyone else but drowning in the rain
Pretending I’m okay, hiding all the ache
Every bruise and scar a secret I can't fake
[Chorus]
Smoke so high, I fly away from all my fears
When the world’s too heavy, I just disappear
Fighting silently, trapped within my mind
Searching for a peace I cannot find
[Verse 2]
Caught between survival and decay
Walking lines I shouldn’t stray
Moments lost in self-hate, wishing I could disappear
Hiding pain in shadows, drowning in my tears
[Pre-Chorus]
Laughing with the others, smiling through the pain
Fooling everyone else but drowning in the rain
Pretending I’m okay, hiding all the ache
Every bruise and scar a secret I can't fake
[Chorus]
Smoke so high, I fly away from all my fears
When the world’s too heavy, I just disappear
Fighting silently, trapped within my mind
Searching for a peace I cannot find
[Bridge]
Breaking through the silence, reaching for the light
Fighting all the darkness, losing all the fight
But still I keep the hope alive within my chest
One day I’ll heal, I’ll find my rest
[Outro]
Shadows in the mirror, fading with the dawn
Finding strength in silence, I’ll carry on and on
No more hiding scars or pretending it’s okay
Today I start to heal, I’ll find a better way
