Shattered Silence

[Verse]
Screams ricochet in my hollowed-out skull,
A mind once sharp, now a splintered hull.
Tangled in shadows, can't find the seams,
Chained to this body, a grave for my dreams.
[Chorus]
Does anyone care? Does anyone see?
This prison of flesh is swallowing me.
Trapped in my head, where the silence screams,
Shattered silence, a nightmare that gleams.
[Verse 2]
Memories fade, like ink in the rain,
Each step forward, just doubles the pain.
The mirror's a stranger, I don't recognize,
A ghost in the glass with deadened eyes.
[Prechorus]
Fingers trace scars, stories untold,
But the fire inside is growing cold.
[Chorus]
Does anyone care? Does anyone see?
This prison of flesh is swallowing me.
Trapped in my head, where the silence screams,
Shattered silence, a nightmare that gleams.
[Bridge]
A thousand words choke, but none will escape,
Locked in a cage, can't bend, can't reshape.
The world spins on, indifferent, cruel,
Am I just a shadow, or am I the fool?
