[Verse 1] I am standing in the room Surrounded by the sound Of people talking past me Like I'm part of the background I move my lips But the air just swallows it whole A ghost in a crowd With a fading soul [Chorus] Nobody sees the weight Nobody sees the cost Of being present everywhere And being completely lost The pressure keeps building The walls keep closing in And the fire that used to burn inside Is just ash and skin [Verse 2] They need you to be something Every single day To perform and to deliver And then quietly fade away No room for the cracks No space for the fall Just smile and keep moving Down the mirrored hall [Bridge] The battery is empty The signal is weak I have been giving everything To everyone who speaks But nobody asks What do you need? Nobody stops To watch me bleed [Chorus] Nobody sees the weight Nobody sees the cost Of being present everywhere And being completely lost The pressure keeps building The walls keep closing in And the fire that used to burn inside Is just ash and skin [Verse 3] I don't want to disappear I just want to be seen Not the version they invented But the one in between The tired one The quiet one The one running on fumes The one standing invisible In crowded rooms [Outro] Is anyone there? Can anyone hear? Or am I just echoing Into the atmosphere Transparent... Transparent...
