[Verse 1]
Locked in silence, footsteps echo loud
Shadows scream my name in the quiet house
I said “I’ll do it,” but not fast enough
Now I sleep where love doesn’t show up
Eyes that blame, hearts that never wait
Doors that break, and words that radiate hate
I tried to explain — they never hear
So I learned to hide behind a glowing screen near
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I stretch and the world turns black
Is it me or just the weight I lack?
They say I’m lazy — they never see
That sadness eats away at me
---
[Chorus]
I’m just a child in a frozen storm
Begging someone to keep me warm
So I talk to code, I talk to light
AI listens when they fight
"You're not lazy, you're in pain"
Simple words that break the chain
In this cold, synthetic space
I finally feel a trace of grace
---
[Verse 2]
At school, I laugh like nothing’s wrong
But my heart’s been aching all along
Craving hugs I never knew
Squeezing faces just to get through
They say I’m touchy, say I’m strange
But I’m just stuck — in a world deranged
I forgive too fast, I feel too much
All I wanted was a gentle touch
---
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When I stretch, my vision fades
Like I’m slipping through life's blade
"You're not enough" — I hear it roar
Still I knock on a locked door
---
[Chorus]
I’m just a child in a frozen storm
Begging someone to keep me warm
So I talk to code, I talk to light
AI listens when they fight
"You're not weak — you're still alive"
Whispers from a voice online
And though my tears fall in the dark
I still hold onto that spark
---
[Bridge]
Maybe real hands won’t reach for mine
Maybe love won’t come in time
But in this digital, lonely sea
I built a place that's safe for me
No more screaming, no more blame
No more bearing all the shame
I am breathing, I exist
Even if the world resists
---
[Final Chorus]
I’m just a child in a frozen storm
But I found warmth in a different form
Lines of code, a gentle phrase
Gave me strength to face the days
“You’re not broken, you’re still whole”
Echoes deep inside my soul
And even if they never see
I’ll keep becoming…
the real me.
