Silent Cry

Can you hear me in the silence? I'm screaming, but there's no sound.

Lost inside my shadows, where no one's ever found.

Every morning, I wake up trying to pretend I’m fine,

Putting on a brave face, hiding the war inside my mind.

They see my smile, think I’m okay,

But behind these eyes, I’m breaking every day.

Holding it all in, trying to be strong,

But who’s there when everything goes wrong?

I give my all to those who don’t see,

Now I wonder who will save me.

I’m fucking broken, hear my cry,

Drowning in a sea of silent nights.

I’m tired of pretending, tired of the fight,

Numb to the world, lost in the night.

Bleeding in private, screaming in my head,

Fighting the shadows that paint me in red.

If I don’t, who will remember?

Who’ll lift the weight of this ember?

I’m not cold, just numb, that’s all,

Silent, broken, waiting for the fall.

But maybe someday, I’ll find the dawn,

Until then, I’ll keep holding on.
