[Verse 1]:
Look, man—I made it through another day,
But see my edges are starting to fray!
Woke up in a panic, grasping for air.
Felt like I was being choked but nobody was there.
I’m tired of the “I’m fine,” i’m breaking inside.
I’m tired of pretendin’, putting on a disguise,
They say to breathe
But nobody knows what’s going on underneath.
They say “just breathe”—but I’m gaspin’ for air,
I scream for help, but nobody’s there,
You’re fakin’ it, clown, wearin’ a crown.
Heavy is the crown that depression gave
Fear, shame, guilt, rage.
Fighting to get out, trapped inside this cage.
Every step I take, feels closer to the grave.
buried deeper by my thoughts, enslaved to the weight.
-
[Chorus]:
I’m trapped in a war that nobody sees,
Fighting these demons down on my knees.
Screaming’ for help, but it fades in the void,
Heart full of pain I can’t avoid.
Fake smile on my face like it’s just routine,
Drowning’ in silence where fear cuts clean.
[Verse 2]:
Anxiety whispers, “You’re not enough, no matter what you do.”
Depression shouts, “Nobody gives a damn about you.”
You’re a burden—they’re just too polite to say it aloud.
So you bottle it up, ‘cause truth ain’t allowed.
They smile in your face, but hope you break down,
Every word you speak gets buried in the ground.
They see the smile, but don’t hear the screams,
Don’t see the nights I’m shattered in my dreams.
Sleep is a battle, dreams turn to fights,
I wake up in sweat from the war every night.
Poured liquor on pain just so I don’t think.
Chasing silence in a bottle, but it always outdrinks me.
I ain’t looking for pity, don’t need a friend—
Just want the noise in my head to end.
Hope feels like fiction, faith just a lie—
I’ve screamed at the heavens, but got no reply.
-
[Chorus x2]:
I’m trapped in a war that nobody sees,
Fighting these demons down on my knees.
Screaming’ for help, but it fades in the void,
Heart full of pain I can’t avoid.
Fake smile on my face like it’s just routine,
Drowning’ in silence where fear cuts clean.
