[Intro – Soft, whispery, distant piano echoing like thoughts in a cave]
Haha… funny, right?
Smiling like I’m alright.
But if silence could scream…
You’d hear me bleeding in between the seams.
⸻
[Verse 1]
I wake up tired, bones wrapped in lead,
Eyes hollowed out from things I never said.
A mask on my face, stitched tight with lies,
But no one questions the hurt in my eyes.
I sit in crowds, I play the part,
But no one feels this caving heart.
They laugh and talk like I’m still whole—
While I bury pieces they’ll never know.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Screaming in whispers, hoping they’d care,
But they just walk by like I’m not there.
My shadow’s loud, but my body’s still,
Smiling while breaking takes so much will.
⸻
[Chorus]
I carry the weight that no one sees,
Crushed beneath invisible grief.
I scream in my mind, but no one looks,
I’m a footnote lost in unread books.
A ghost to the world, fading in light,
Too tired to fight, too numb for flight.
They’ll never know what hides behind—
This painted grin, this silent cry.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Scroll past my silence, it’s just another day,
I’m a name they’ll forget, just pixels and gray.
I build up a smile that cracks in the rain,
While drowning in oceans I can’t even name.
My phone’s still quiet, my room’s still loud,
A war in my head that’s wearing me down.
“Just cheer up,” they say like it’s nothing at all—
But they don’t see the nights I crawl.
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken Word, low, broken voice]
If I disappeared…
Would they write a post or shed a tear?
Would they whisper “I should’ve been there…”
Before forgetting I was ever here?
⸻
[Final Chorus – Stripped back at first, then building with soft strings and echoing reverb]
I carry the weight that no one sees,
Crushed by the silence that lives in me.
I scream in my mind, but my mouth stays sewn,
I’m here, but I’m gone… too tired to be known.
Too tired… to be known.
⸻
[Outro – Whispered over soft piano decay]
I’m fading… fading… but no one can tell,
This silence, this darkness—it’s my private hell.
No one sees, no one knows,
Just a ghost… that barely shows.
