(Intro – spoken)
Yeah…
Sometimes nobody sees what you really feel…
But you keep going.
(Hook)
Nobody sees what I carry inside,
I smile and wave, but I know who I am.
Nobody sees how the nights eat me away,
but I fight every day, I can't forget myself.
(Part 1)
Every scar on my skin has a story to tell,
none was in vain, even if many of them are missing.
Because I don't talk about what keeps me awake at night,
my heart is made of stone, but it still beats to the beat of the rest.
Everyone talks about goals, but I'm just running in circles,
everyone talks about love, but it's all just ice.
I'd rather keep quiet, brother, don't talk too much,
because if you talk little, you don't lose much.
(Hook)
No one sees what I carry inside me,
I smile and wave, but I know who I am.
No one sees how the nights consume me,
but I fight every day, I can't forget myself.
(Part 2)
I'm at the block with the boys, but my head isn't here,
I see the skyline at night, I ask myself: "What will remain of me?"
I don't want money, I don't want fame, I just want peace inside me,
but the voices in my head keep asking for meaning.
My mother says: "Child, stay strong, it will be okay,"
but her gaze sees exactly what no one else ever does.
Because she knows who I am, without a mask in the light,
only she knows what is real when my smile breaks.
(Hook)
No one sees what I carry inside me,
I smile and wave, but I know who I am.
No one sees how the nights consume me,
but I fight every day, unable to forget myself.
(Bridge)
And when I go, no palace of me remains,
only a few texts, a few dreams, a few lines of hate.
But maybe someone will read them, and they won't feel small,
because we are all the same – all alone.
(Final Hook)
No one sees what I carry inside me,
I smile and wave, but I know who I am.
No one sees how the nights consume me,
but I fight every day, unable to forget myself.
