Shattered Inside

Mask on my face, inside breaking down

Silent screams in a quiet town

Walking these streets, searching for a way

Hoping for a brighter day

They see me smiling, they ask how I do

I say I'm fine, but it's a lie they never knew

Inside I'm bleeding, losing my grip

Fighting these demons I can't forget

Each step I take, I feel the ache

Pretending's a mask that I can't fake

Yearning for freedom, for who I used to be

Seeking a cause to set me free

I'm dying slowly, buried deep inside

Wandering streets where hopes have died

Can’t stay here, this place won’t heal

Longing for a life that’s real

Oh, I need to break these chains

Find myself beyond these pains

Waiting for the day I’ll be whole

To reclaim my shattered soul

Once a man of strength, now broken and torn

Piecing my soul, reborn in the dawn

Faces pass, they don't see my pain

Lost in this shadow, trying not to fall again

I'm dying slowly, buried deep inside

Wandering streets where hopes have died

Can’t stay here, this place won’t heal

Longing for a life that’s real

Oh, I need to break these chains

Find myself beyond these pains

Waiting for the day I’ll be whole

To reclaim my shattered soul

One day I’ll walk toward the light

Free from the darkness, ending the fight

Until then, I’ll hide my pain

Hoping someday I’ll rise again pain free
