[Intro]
(Cue soft piano and violin)
Whispers at dawn, a brand new day,
But the shadows linger, they never fade away.
[Verse 1]
I rise with the sun, slip into my role,
Faces around me, but I’m feeling the toll.
Laughing in circles, they say I'm the light,
But underneath the surface, it’s a constant fight.
[Pre-Chorus]
I wear a smile, a perfect disguise,
But it’s breaking me down, hidden in my eyes.
I keep my heart busy, running the race,
But inside it’s chaos, this unending chase.
[Chorus]
I’m drowning in silence, how can’t you see?
These waves of sorrow, they're swallowing me.
I’m lost in the laughter, hiding my tears,
Can’t you hear my soul bleed, beneath all these fears?
[Verse 2]
I catch the reflection, a ghost seen through glass,
Thinking of moments that I wish could just last.
So many around me, yet I’m standing alone,
In this crowded silence, where I'm far from home.
[Pre-Chorus]
A warrior’s spirit trapped in despair,
I’m too tired to fight,and i'm too numb to care.
But still I will show up, i'll put on my act,
But with every step forward, the light fades to black.
[Chorus]
I’m drowning in silence, how can’t you see?
These waves of sorrow, they're swallowing me.
I’m lost in the laughter, hiding my tears,
Can’t you hear my soul bleed, beneath all these fears?
[Verse 3]
I've learned that this world, with its cruel collective
They care about no one, their support ineffective.
I have to accept that i'll always feel alone,
This is who i am, from flesh to to bone.
[Pre-Chorus]
A warrior’s spirit trapped in despair,
I’m too tired to fight,and i'm too numb to care.
But still I will show up, i'll put on my act,
But with every step forward, the light fades to black.
[Chorus]
I’m drowning in silence, how can’t you see?
These waves of sorrow, they're swallowing me.
I’m lost in the laughter, hiding my tears,
Can’t you hear my soul bleed, beneath all these fears?
[Bridge]
(Piano rises, enveloping the sound)
So I just close my eyes, and I wish for a break,
Let the tide carry me, let the ground beneath me shake.
I must find my way through this silent storm,
Underneath the darkness, I have to find my home.
[Outro]
I've been breaking the silence, yet no one hear my plea,
I won’t hide forever, I’ll set myself free.
In the depths of the night, the dawn will unfold,
With every heartbeat, I'll find my own soul.
