Inside the Sound

Verse 1:
Nights are loud but my words stay quiet,
I’m a war zone behind a calm riot.
Headphones on, world fades to black,
Every track a map of the pieces I lack.
I scribble pain on the corners of my mind,
Hoping someone finds what I can’t leave behind.

Pre-Chorus:
I wear the mask, smile for the show,
But these songs tell the story you’ll never know.

Hook:
I don’t say what’s breaking me, I press play instead,
Let the bass scream the shit inside my head.
If you heard what I hear, you’d feel the truth—
These songs hold the parts of me I refuse to lose.

Verse 2:
Fingers tap the beat like it’s counting my scars,
Lyrics cutting deep, stitching invisible bars.
I laugh, I joke, they think I’m alright,
But the music’s my only friend in the night.
Every note a confession, every chord a fight,
A soundtrack for the battles I hide out of sight.

Pre-Chorus 2:
I wear the mask, let the world pretend,
But the songs in my soul, they never bend.

Hook:
I don’t say what’s breaking me, I press play instead,
Let the bass scream the shit inside my head.
If you heard what I hear, you’d feel the truth—
These songs hold the parts of me I refuse to lose.

Bridge:
Some nights I want to disappear in the sound,
Let the melody carry me, let it pull me down.
But even broken, even torn, I survive,
The music keeps me breathing, keeps me alive.

Hook (final):
I don’t say what’s breaking me, I press play instead,
Let the bass scream the shit inside my head.
If you heard what I hear, you’d feel the truth—
These songs hold the parts of me I refuse to lose.

Outro:
So if you ever wonder why I play it loud,
It’s the only place where my heart’s allowed.
Every track a piece, every lyric a clue,
The music’s my voice when I can’t speak to you.
