I wear my smile like armor every day Answer “I’m fine” in all the usual ways Behind these eyes, there’s a war nobody sees Fighting battles in silence, begging for release Bills pile up like bricks against my door Work till I’m empty, but it’s never enough for more They see a man just trying to get by Don’t see the weight that’s crushing me inside Chorus: I’m drowning in a room full of people Screaming in a silence so loud These demons wear my face in the mirror Nobody sees me breaking down I’m breaking down Verse 2: Reach for something just to feel less alone Numbing the ache, but it’s carved into my bones I know it’s wrong, but wrong feels like a friend When you’re just trying to make it to the end Search for love like water in the sand Hold out my heart with these empty, shaking hands But who could love the wreckage that I hide? This hollow shell with a hurricane inside Chorus: I’m drowning in a room full of people Screaming in a silence so loud These demons wear my face in the mirror Nobody sees me breaking down Bridge: If you could see beneath this skin The war I wage, the shape I’m in Would you still look the other way? Or would you help me find the strength to say— Final Chorus: I’m drowning in a room full of people Screaming in a silence so loud These demons wear my face in the mirror But maybe someone sees me now Maybe someone sees me now Outro: I’m still here fighting Still here fighting Though nobody can see
