How It Feels When No One Knows

[Intro]
[soft violin over picked guitar]
[Verse 1]
Morning hurts
Before I move
Bones complain
Like they got something to prove
Every step
Feels like dragging chains
But I laugh it off
Like it’s just the rain
[Chorus]
You don’t know how it feels
When no one knows
Every ache I hide
Every night that grows
I’m a ghost in my own clothes
Talking to the walls
You don’t know how it feels
When no one calls
[Verse 2]
Friends drift off
Like old late shows
Say they’ll check in
Guess the line broke
Mirror man
Won’t meet my eyes
There’s a map of hurt
Under this disguise
[Chorus]
You don’t know how it feels
When no one knows
Every muscle screaming
Under quiet clothes
I’m a ghost in my own skin
Fading down these halls
You don’t know how it feels
When no one calls
[Bridge]
Some days I wonder
If I disappeared
Would the dust on the dresser
Be the only that cared (oh)
I bite my tongue
When they say I look fine
They can’t feel the storm
Running down my spine
[Chorus]
You don’t know how it feels
When no one knows
All the weight I’m carrying
Every hidden low
I’m a ghost in my own life
Waiting on a sign
You don’t know how it feels
Inside this body of mine
[Outro]
[violin swells
Guitar softens]
You don’t know how it feels
(nobody knows)

Verses stay low and gravelly with roomy reverb, chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and ringing electric guitar swells. Subtle organ pad in the back; final chorus adds a higher harmony and a sustained violin line for a weary, cinematic finish., sad, vocal, violin, acoustic, deep
