[Verse]
Loudest one around the crowd
Voices laugh but inside I'm bowed
Family tears me up sometimes
In my head the storm chimes
[Verse 2]
Books and grades my shiny armor
Yet the nights just grow darker
Friends all think I'm all okay
Smiling mask I wear each day
[Chorus]
Scream and shout I'm loud and clear
But inside there's silent fear
They don't see the heavy load
Hidden cracks in my stronghold
[Verse 3]
Parties light and music blast
But the shadows still won't pass
Every joke feels like a lie
Haunted mind I can't deny
[Bridge]
Running fast I can't escape
Every smile my heart shapes
When the quiet hits at night
Tears and thoughts I must fight
[Chorus]
Scream and shout I'm loud and clear
But inside there's silent fear
They don't see the heavy load
Hidden cracks in my stronghold
