(Verse 1) There’s a war going on underneath my skin A quiet kind of damage where the noise begins I sit across the room while the world moves fast Wondering how much longer a shadow can last. You speak about your storm, and I nod my head Holding back the thousand things I left unsaid I’m standing in a glass box, screaming loud Just a ghost wearing clothes in a crowded house. (Chorus) And everybody talks about the view from here Like the heavy in my chest is gonna disappear They say "hang on," but they don't know the weight Of trying to survive in a place you hate. paper cant show it, no words make it clear It’s just me and the silence staring back right here. (Verse 2) Rules set in stone that I’m forced to follow Secrets on my shoulders making every breath hollow I’m tired of the guilt, I’m tired of the fight Tired of pretending everything is alright. When the heavy gets too dark, they just ask you why Instead of just admitting that it hurts to try. (Chorus) And everybody talks about the view from here Like the heavy in my chest is gonna disappear They say "hang on," but they don't know the weight Of trying to survive in a place you hate. paper cant show it, no words make it clear It’s just me and the silence staring back right here. (Outro) No one sees the inside of the mind I’m in Just trying to find where I'm supposed to begin.
