Silent screams behind these eyes Wearing masks, perfecting lies "Just get over it," they say Like I could choose to feel this way Every mirror shows someone new Fighting battles they can't see through I'm dancing with my demons in the dark Trying to hide these invisible scars They say I should be stronger than I am But they don't know the weight of where I stand Not every wound bleeds crimson red Some live deeper, inside my head Paper walls around my mind Keeping secrets left behind Push me forward, hold me back Walking on this tightrope track Every smile's a curtain drawn Hiding storms before the dawn Maybe healing isn't what they see Maybe strength flows differently in me Through the chaos and the quiet fights Something in me burns so bright I'm dancing with my demons in the dark Trying to hide these invisible scars They say I should be stronger than I am But they don't know the weight of where I stand Not every wound bleeds crimson red Some live deeper, inside my head Watch me rise through another day Finding strength in my own way Though the battle rages silently Something fierce lives inside of me
