invisible cloak

Verse 1

I can only be strong for so much

Till the breaking point finally hits

Smiles stitched over bruised-up trust

They don’t see the cracks I’m in

I hold it together in public rooms

But I’m folding when the lights go dim

I keep my feelings buried deep

Locked away under my skin

Pre-Chorus

They ask for more like I don’t bleed

Like I don’t need room to breathe

Every weight they place on me

Pretending I don’t feel a thing

Chorus

No respect, no compassion in sight

No pause, no mercy, no compromise

No understanding, just orders to obey

Demands falling on me every day

They say “she will,” they say “she won’t”

Make decisions like I don’t exist

Standing in the middle of my own life

While they move on without me in it

Verse 2

I learned how to disappear in plain view

Smile through what’s tearing me apart

Family guessing what I’m gonna do

Never asking what’s inside my heart

They talk around me, over my name

Like my voice don’t carry weight

They plan futures I never chose

Leave me watching from the gate

Pre-Chorus 2

I gave and gave till there was none

Now they wonder why I’m numb

I’m not cold, I’m worn down thin

Trying not to cave within

Chorus

No respect, no compassion in sight

No pause, no mercy, no compromise

No understanding, just orders to obey

Demands falling on me every day

They say “she will,” they say “she won’t”

Make decisions like I don’t exist

Standing in the middle of my own life

While they move on without me in it

Bridge (Spoken / Soft-Sung)

I don’t vanish…

I get pushed into silence

I don’t lack strength…

I run out of places to hide it

Final Chorus (Lift)

So I sit wearing an invisible cloak

Watching eyes speak straight to my soul

Every look saying what mouths won’t say

I hear it all, I just don’t engage

I’m present, but unseen somehow

Breathing, yet fading out

If you wonder why I don’t fight anymore

It’s because I’ve been fighting all along

Outro

Invisible…

But I feel everything.

I’m taking off the cloak tonight

Letting my voice breathe light

If you never saw me then

You’ll hear me now…
