[Verse 1] [Soft, eerie guitar picking—slow, hollow vocals.]
I used to talk to the walls when the house was too quiet,
Counting the cracks just to feel like I wasn’t alone.
Screamed into pillows so no one would hear,
Told myself I was stronger than the silence.
[Pre-Chorus] [Guitars creeping in, slow build-up of emotion]
Did you ever wonder what happened to me?
Did you ever feel like something was missing?
I was breaking right in front of them—
But no one, no one was listening.
[Chorus] [Full-band explosion—distorted guitars, pounding drums, raw, anguished vocals.]
I screamed for help, but the echoes just laughed,
I bled in the dark, but no one ever asked.
I wrote my pain in lines on my skin,
But they only saw me when I let the light in.
[Verse 2] [Drop back to soft, haunting vocals.]
I learned to smile so they wouldn’t look deeper,
Made it a game just to see if they’d care.
I painted my wrists with the edge of a blade,
Tracing my thoughts in lines they refused to see.
[Pre-Chorus] [More intense—emotion rising, guitars creeping in with distortion.]
Did you ever wonder what happened to me?
Did you ever feel like something was missing?
I was breaking right in front of them—
But no one, no one was listening.
[Final Chorus] [Last, most intense version—Xander’s voice nearly breaking, drums crashing, guitars wailing.]
I screamed for help, but the echoes just laughed,
I bled in the dark, but no one ever asked.
I wrote my pain in lines on my skin,
But they only saw me when I let the light in.
[Outro] [Music fades, soft heartbeat-like drum taps, eerie guitar lingering like a memory.]
You never noticed.
You never asked.
Now I’m just another name in your past.
[Silence.]
