(Intro)
(Soft, melancholic piano chords begin, fading slightly)
(Verse 1)
The city sleeps outside my window pane
Each distant siren whispers out a name
A name I can't quite place, a memory blurred
Just like the feelings that are never heard
(Pre-Chorus)
I build these walls so high, no one can see within
A fortress of composure, where the quiet begins
And every unspoken word becomes a heavy stone
Stacked in the silence, a burden I carry alone
(Chorus)
These silent echoes in my heart reside
A symphony of feelings I can't confide
I wear a painted smile, a mask to hide the pain
While all the unspoken words just fall like silent rain
(Verse 2)
The laughter rings around, a joyful sound
But in my chest, a deeper ache is found
They share their triumphs, and their fears take flight
While I just nod along, lost in the fading light
(Pre-Chorus)
I build these walls so high, no one can see within
A fortress of composure, where the quiet begins
And every unspoken word becomes a heavy stone
Stacked in the silence, a burden I carry alone
(Chorus)
These silent echoes in my heart reside
A symphony of feelings I can't confide
I wear a painted smile, a mask to hide the pain
While all the unspoken words just fall like silent rain
(Verse 3)
I watch the world go by, a vibrant hue
While my own world remains a shade of blue
I long to reach out, to let somebody know
But the fear of breaking down just makes me let go
(Pre-Chorus)
I build these walls so high, no one can see within
A fortress of composure, where the quiet begins
And every unspoken word becomes a heavy stone
Stacked in the silence, a burden I carry alone
(Chorus)
These silent echoes in my heart reside
A symphony of feelings I can't confide
I wear a painted smile, a mask to hide the pain
While all the unspoken words just fall like silent rain
(Outro)
(Piano chords return, softer and more drawn out)
Silent rain... falling down...
No one around... to hear a sound...
(Music fades to silence)
