alone in a room full of people, i silently scream
lost in the sounds of a broken dream
no one sees the cuts i hide
or feels the pain that eats me inside
i smear on a smile, play the part
but deep down, im falling apart
the weight of my pain becomes a scare
as im in the silence, drowning in despair
no one understands the pain i feel
or the wounds that refuse to heal
