[Soft Spoken Intro]
“Behind every smile, there’s a fracture you can’t see…
Signs of the broken… written quietly.”
[Verse 1]
Eyes that never meet your own,
Hands that tremble when they’re alone.
A laugh that fades before it’s real,
Scars that time refuses to heal.
[Pre-Chorus]
You call it strength,
But it’s a disguise.
The weight of the world
Hides behind their eyes.
[Chorus]
These are the signs of the broken,
Words left silent, never spoken.
Smiles that hide a war inside,
Hope that flickers but never dies.
You see the mask, but not the pain,
A quiet storm in endless rain.
[Verse 2]
They say “be strong, it’s just the way,”
But strength can bleed the soul away.
Each burden stacked, another chain,
Each promise breaks, another stain.
[Pre-Chorus]
You call it life,
But it feels like scars.
A shattered mirror
Of who they are.
[Chorus]
These are the signs of the broken,
Words left silent, never spoken.
Smiles that hide a war inside,
Hope that flickers but never dies.
You see the mask, but not the pain,
A quiet storm in endless rain.
[Verse 3]
A heart still beats beneath the skin,
But walls are built to keep it in.
They fight each day to just exist,
A ghost that life forgot to miss.
[Pre-Chorus]
You call it weakness,
But it’s how they survive.
A fragile soul
Still burning alive.
[Bridge – Screaming]
Can’t you see the warning signs?
Cracks in their voice, the vacant eyes!
Every silence is a scream,
Every nightmare is a dream!
[Final Chorus]
These are the signs of the broken,
Chains of silence, left unspoken.
The ones who smile through their pain,
The ones who rise and fall again.
They are the flames that still remain,
A quiet strength in endless rain.
[Whispered Fading Outro]
“…These are the signs… of the broken.”
