[Intro]
Welcome to my...own personal...hell.
A quiet storm I cast myself under,
Carrying burdens that no words can tell.
[Verse 1]
I wear their sadness like a second skin,
Absorbing pain, where do I begin?
Hidden scars beneath a shining mask,
Every yearning, every task.
[Pre-Chorus]
They never see the parts I hide,
Lost in shadows deep inside.
I give my all but never enough,
Drowning in this endless bluff.
[Chorus]
I'm an empath, a silent thief,
Stealing sorrow, bearing grief.
All their darkness, I consume,
No respite, no safe room.
[Verse 2]
Pieces of me that rarely show,
Broken bits they’ll never know.
Healing never, just more scars,
Rebuilding 'neath the fading stars.
[Pre-Chorus]
They never see the truth I hide,
Battles raging deep inside.
I stand strong, I push away,
Burnout’s kiss, every day.
[Chorus]
I'm an empath, a silent thief,
Stealing sorrow, bearing grief.
All their darkness, I consume,
No respite, no safe room.
[Bridge]
How to turn the tide, how to unplug,
From this endless draining drug.
Searching for the empty space,
A moment’s peace, a quiet place.
[Outro]
Welcome to my...own personal...hell,
A silent cry, a desperate call.
But maybe someday I’ll find the light,
Break these chains and take flight.
