[Female Vocals Only] [Proper pronunciation] [Good vocal chain] [Melody Chords in Dm – Bb – F – C] [Verse 1: ambient singing] Late at night, she’s staring at the screen, Scrolling through a life she’ll never own, A smile on her face, but it’s just a routine, Trapped in a world where she feels alone. The voices whisper, “You’re not enough,” Behind the laughter, the cracks are clear, She hides the pain, but it’s getting tough, A fragile mind, consumed by fear. [Chorus: catchy and melodic singing] In the shadows, where silence lies, Hidden pain in those we idolize, A story untold, behind each smile, A battle fought, mile after mile. No easy fix, no simple way, These are the struggles faced every day, So be aware, don’t turn away, The darkness is here, and it’s here to stay. [Verse 2: smooth rap] [rap] [rap] He wakes up, feeling heavy and drained, By the marks of a mind, that’s fraying at the seams, The world outside is cold, and it’s stained, Finding lost hopes, and shattered dreams. In the crowd, he’s just another face, The shadows of the world, it’s too much to bear, But inside, he’s lost in a hopeless race, But who would notice? Who would care? [Chorus 2: catchy and melodic singing] In the shadows, where silence lies, Hidden pain in those we idolize, (pains hidden in those we idolize) A story untold, behind each smile, A battle fought, mile after mile. (mile after mile) No easy fix, no simple way, These are the struggles faced every day, (no fix, no simple way) So be aware, don’t turn away, (struggles faced, don't turn away) The darkness is here, and it’s here to stay. [Bridge: ambient singing] In the quiet moments, when the world fades away, They’re left alone with the ghosts that stay, No escape, no place to run, Trapped in a mind where there’s no sun. These are the stories that's hard to explore, A cry for help that’s hard to ignore. [Repeat Chorus 2] [Outro: smooth rap] [rap] [rap] [rap] [rap] [rap] [rap] Silent screams, echo in the halls, Inside a mind where every shadow falls, Can’t sleep, can’t eat, just numb inside, Running away from evil with nowhere to hide. Fake smiles plastered, playing the part, But no one sees the cracks in the heart. This ain’t a game, it’s a life on edge, Walking on a tightrope, no safety ledge. You think you know, but you can’t see, The war inside, the agony. So wake up now, open your eyes, Mental illness ain’t wearing no disguise.
