[Verse]
Walking these halls where shadows loom
Echoes of laughter turn into gloom
Whispers and taunts feel like a knife
Crushing my spirit stealing my life
[Verse 2]
Lonely at lunchtime seated alone
Invisible mask hiding the stone
Eyes cast downward afraid to meet
Their cruel stares that make me retreat
[Chorus]
I'm the outcast lost in the crowd
Shouting for help when silence is loud
Cries of my heart ignored by the world
In darkness and pain my sorrow unfurled
[Verse 3]
Pushed and shoved bruised and scarred
Every step taken feels so hard
No one sees the tears I hide
Or the broken dreams where hope has died
[Bridge]
Maybe one day I'll find my way
Out from the shadows into the day
But for now I'm just surviving the storm
Longing for solace where souls are warm
[Chorus]
I'm the outcast lost in the crowd
Shouting for help when silence is loud
Cries of my heart ignored by the world
In darkness and pain my sorrow unfurled
