[Verse]
Thirteen candles flicker, shadows in the hall
Five brothers brawlin’, she don’t feel seen at all
Mom's in the kitchen, Dad's glued to the screen
She’s screaming in her head but outside stays serene
Heavy backpack, books weigh more than her tears
Homework undone, buried under fears
Bedroom a cave, posters peeling off the wall
Her voice a whisper, but nobody hears the call
[Chorus]
Thirteen shadows, drowning in the night
Smiling on the surface, hiding from the light
Family all around, yet she feels alone
Thirteen years young, carrying a heart of stone
[Verse 2]
Dinner table chaos, forks and knives clash
Conversations fly, her words turn to ash
Five voices louder, she fades into the noise
Dreams locked away, no keys, no joys
In the mirror, she stares at a stranger’s face
Eyes like storm clouds, can’t find her place
Covers her scars with long sleeves and lies
Wishes on stars, but the stars don’t reply
[Bridge]
Counting cracks in the ceiling, midnight confessions
A war in her mind, battles of depression
Parents love in theory, but miss all the signs
Brothers roughhousing, crossing her lines
