[Intro]
Soft strumming, gentle whispers of a dawn
Echoes of a silent son, where nobody's wrong
[Verse 1]
Wake up heavy, shadows in the light
Smile in the mirror, hide the fight
Jokes spill out, like a quiet cry
Underneath the surface, a silent why
[Pre-Chorus]
Long workdays, passing by
Empty stares, askin' why
In the quiet, fears reside
Hiding tears he can't confide
[Chorus]
Burying fears in the dark, alone
Hiding truth behind a stone
Heartbeat slow like a subdued moan
In this quiet, he's unknown
[Verse 2]
Light bass hums, a gentle plea
Thoughts he keeps from history
Fears he holds, a fragile thread
Silent battles in his head
[Pre-Chorus]
Every laugh a small disguise
Lonely echoes, unseen skies
Wishing someone saw through his guise
Honest tears he tries to hide
[Chorus]
Burying fears in the dark, alone
Hiding truth behind a stone
Heartbeat slow like a subdued moan
In this quiet, he's unknown
[Bridge]
Subtle ambient pads, like breathes he can't share
Distant reverbs, whispering in the air
A melody of pain, soft and bare
Finally, he lets the truth stare
[Outro]
Soft guitar fades into the silence
A confession in the darkness' defiance
In his solitude, a fragile alliance
To be seen, to find reliance
