[Instrumental Intro] [Verse] Mouth stays shut but my mind’s on fire Every word’s a match in a room of wire Eyes scan faces for a hint of truth But the lies run deep like a poisoned root They say silence saves but it cuts like steel Swallow the scream that you’re not allowed to feel The clock ticks loud like a secret drum The weight in my chest Leaves my body numb [Chorus] We’re bleeding in the dark unseen Holding our breath till our lungs turn green We’re bleeding in the dark unseen Truth locked away, rusting in between [Instrumental interlude] [Verse 2] We trade our courage for a seat in the crowd Hands in our pockets, heads bowed down The stage is lit but the script’s all wrong The actors smile while the weak stay gone Every “don’t speak now” is a wound we keep Burying the words in a grave too deep We’re the jailers of our own cage Tearing out the lines from the story’s page [Break] [Bridge] I hear echoes of the truths I hid They claw at the walls of the things I did A million truths I could have shown A million seeds I’ve left unthrown [Final Chorus] We’re bleeding in the dark unseen Holding our breath till our lungs turn green We’re bleeding in the dark unseen Truth locked away, rusting in between [Outro] x2 The glass mouth never speaks Pressure builds till the silence leaks Truth’s a blade that the coward keeps
