I dress my wounds in smiles so bright, But inside, it’s a constant fight. **Pre-Chorus:** A facade, a mask, a crafted play, To make it through another day. You see the strength, the brave display, But don't ask if I'm okay. **Chorus:** I'm alright, but I'm not okay, A storm inside I can't convey. I’m standing tall, but I sway, Hiding where the pain lays. **Verse 2:** In crowded rooms, I drift alone, A heart encased in silent stone. Conversations turn to noise, Drowning out my inner voice. **Pre-Chorus:** I laugh at jokes, I play along, But every note feels wrong. The harmonies of life's cruel song, Echo where I don’t belong. **Chorus:** I'm alright, but I'm not okay, Holding on by fragile threads of gray. I’m dancing in the shadows' fray, Hoping for the dawn’s embrace. **Bridge:** Each night, the darkness swallows me, A depthless sea of misery. Yet in the pitch, I search for stars, To heal the wounds, to mend the scars. **Chorus:** I'm alright, but I'm not okay, Living in this twilight gray. A warrior in this endless fray, Dreaming of a brighter day. **Outro:** One day, I'll cast this mask aside, Reveal the truth I try to hide. But until then, in this charade, I'll be alright in my own way.
