Smoke in the room.

Grab a lighter, close the door, and let the smoke fill the room

People talk behind my back like I don't have a clue

But I hear 'em loud and clear in the quiet of the night

Like their words echo louder when I’m out of sight

Tired eyes, heavy soul, bags packed with regret

A heart full of noise that I try to forget

Mom left early, Dad works late

Dinner’s just silence and a paper plate

I pretend I’m okay, I play my part

But no one ever sees the bleeding heart

The walls got ears, but they still don’t care

I scream into pillows like somebody's there

I lit a match just to watch it burn

Thought about life and the way it turns

My friends moved on, they got their dreams

I’m stuck here, bursting at the seams

With a phone full of numbers I’m scared to call

And a soul that’s cracked like a mirror on the wall

They said it gets better, but when? Not yet

All I got is ash, some pills, and debt

Can you see the cracks in the smile I fake?

Can you hear the heart that ached 'til it break?

I light it up just to breathe in the gloom

Lost in the silence, just smoke in the room

If I disappeared, would anyone care?

Or would my shadow be the only one there?

I’m drowning slow in invisible doom

Sinking in silence, with smoke in the room

I scroll through photos like time stood still

A younger me with a half-full will

Now I’m older, colder, lost and numb

Wishing I could go back to where I came from

Back when cartoons made me smile at dawn

Now it’s just grey skies and pretending I’m strong

Dad’s got blisters from both his jobs

While I sit in the dark just hiding my sobs

I don’t blame him—he’s trying his best

But I’m still broken, still depressed

I write my pain on fogged-up glass

Watch it fade like everything else that passed

They say “talk,” but what would I say?

That I count reasons to stay every day?

There’s a voice in my head that I try to fight

But it wins more battles every night

Still I grab that lighter, take a breath so deep

Smoke in my lungs, and secrets I keep

Can you see the cracks in the smile I fake?

Can you hear the heart that ached 'til it break?

I light it up just to breathe in the gloom

Lost in the silence, just smoke in the room

If I vanished now, would the silence bloom?

Or would I just be smoke in someone else's room?

So grab a lighter, close the door—

What’s one more ghost behind this floor?

Let the smoke rise, let the shadows consume,

'Cause I’m just a whisper,

Just smoke in the room.
