[Intro – Spoken, echoing, soft beat building]
Haha…
Funny how they say “you’re young, it’s just a phase”
Like I’m supposed to survive being this afraid.
Smiling in the dark like it’s something to be proud of…
But inside, I’m screaming loud as hell.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Flow kicks in, mellow keys and lo-fi beat]
I wake up in shadows, no sun on my skin
Face in the mirror, I don’t know where I’ve been
Tired soul in a teenage frame
Trying to outrun the whispers of shame
They judge from a distance, but they don’t know
What it’s like when the silence starts to grow
Test after test, I fake my best
But none of these lessons teach me how to rest
Lost in halls where no one sees
Scrolling through perfect, dying to breathe
Another like, another lie
Another piece of me waving goodbye
⸻
[Chorus – Melodic, sad hook with layered vocals]
I’m slipping through the silence, falling out of frame
Trying to smile while drowning in shame
Tightropes built from words they said
Living with ghosts inside my head
Can you hear me? Or am I just noise?
Another broken kid without a voice
Falling, fading, night after night
But I swear there’s still a flicker of fight.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Spoken-rap delivery, building tension]
They said “It gets better,” but when?
I’m stuck in the loop, again and again
Grades on a sheet, scars on my soul
Smiles that lie, hearts that grow cold
I laugh on cue, I blend in well
But inside, man, it’s a private hell
Hallways echo with a thousand eyes
But none of them see the fear I hide
Every “you’ll be fine” just adds to the weight
Every “stay strong” sounds just like fate
Like maybe I was made to break
A beautiful mess they’ll forget too late
⸻
[Bridge – Slowed beat, minimal instrumentals]
Would it matter if I disappeared?
Would the world pause or keep shifting gears?
I’m a glitch in the system, a name they forget
But I’m still here, I’m not done yet
Somewhere in the dark, there’s a spark I protect
A future unlived that I won’t neglect
For the ones like me who cry at night
This voice will echo, we’ll win the fight
⸻
[Final Chorus – Emotional, layered with a melodic chant behind it]
I’m slipping through the silence, but I’m still here
Broken, bleeding, but I see clear
Tightropes tremble beneath my feet
But I walk with scars and a steady beat
They can’t drown us if we scream our names
No shame in the tears, no playing their games
We’re fading stars, yeah, but still alight—
Still burning in the blackest night.
