(Intro – Whispering) They call me strong, they call me kind, But no one sees the war inside. I carry their pain, I carry their weight, But when I fall, they walk away. (Verse 1) Every morning I wake up, put a mask on my face, Do what I must, though I’m barely okay. I fix their homes, I repair their light, But when my world turns dark, they all turn blind. They laugh when I joke, they love when I smile, But don’t see I’m drowning inside all the while. My mind is a battlefield, endless, unkind, I scream in my dreams, but no one hears my cries. (Pre-Chorus) I give without asking, without a demand, But when I need something, they don’t lift a hand. How can I stay when I don’t even know, If tomorrow will come... or if I’ll just let go? (Chorus – Screaming / Intense) No one hears me! No one sees me! I’m drowning in silence, I’m lost in the deep, yeah! Everything I loved just left me behind, Yet I keep on giving, while I slowly die. I save, I heal, but who saves me? I run through the fire, but who stands by me? I smile for their joy, but inside I scream, They call me strong… but I feel diseased. (Verse 2) My shoulders carry what no one can see, A mountain of sorrow, but I let it be. A moment, a crack, but I swallow it whole, Who wants to listen when my story unfolds? I try to reach out, but the lines always burn, They say, “You can call me,” but they never return. My doubts keep growing, a shadow too tall, I stand in a crowd, yet I’m nothing at all. (Bridge – Slow, Emotional Build-Up) I don’t speak much, ‘cause I’ve heard it too loud, My words are too heavy, they shut me out. They want the laughter, not the pain, So I keep on smiling… but I’m not okay. (Break – Silence, only breath and whispering) Is there someone? Can anyone hear me? Or will I stay invisible… until I disappear? (Chorus – Even More Intense, Full Instrumental Explosion) No one hears me! No one sees me! I’m drowning in silence, I’m lost in the deep, yeah! Everything I loved just left me behind, Yet I keep on giving, while I slowly die. I save, I heal, but who saves me? I run through the fire, but who stands by me? I smile for their joy, but inside I scream, They call me strong… but I feel diseased. (Outro – Fading Away, Emotional Finish) Maybe I’ll stay, maybe I’ll fade, Maybe they’ll miss me when I’ve drifted away. Maybe they’ll call, but it’ll be too late, ‘Cause no one heard me… until I was erased. (Whispering and fading out) No one hears me… No one sees me… I keep on giving… but who saves me?
