Silent Weight

(Intro) Yeah… Some nights get heavy… You don’t see it, but I carry it… with all this pain in me (Verse 1) Woke up feelin’ like the sun don’t shine for me, Mirror show a face but it don’t feel like me, Heart on empty, but I still gotta breathe, Smilin’ in the crowd while I’m fightin’ silently. Voices in my head keep tellin’ me I’m less, Every step forward feel like two steps back, I confess, Tryna hold it in, but it’s spillin’ through the cracks, Got a whole world watchin’, but I’m dressed in all black. (Pre-Chorus) I been drownin’ in my thoughts, no life vest, Every day a battle, never really get rest, They say “keep your head up,” I try my best… But the weight on my chest got me feelin’ so depressed. (Chorus) I’m fightin’ demons in the dark where nobody sees, Screamin’ out for help but it’s silent when I breathe, Tryna find peace, but it’s runnin’ from me, I’m lost in my mind, tryna set myself free. Yeah, I smile so they think that I’m okay, But inside, man, I’m slowly driftin’ away, Every night feel like I’m stuck in the rain, Tryna heal, but I’m drownin’ in the pain. (Verse 2) Late nights, no sleep, just me and regret, Replayin’ every failure, every word I ain’t said, Got scars in my mind that I wish I could forget, But they live in my soul like a permanent set. People come and go, but the pain stay loyal, Tryna build a life but my thoughts still spoil, Feel like I’m sinkin’ while I’m standin’ on soil, And the fire in my chest don’t feel like it’s royal. (Pre-Chorus) I been tryna find a light in the grey skies, Lookin’ for a reason just to keep my head high, Even when I break, I don’t let ‘em see me cry… ‘Cause I been wearin’ strength as a disguise. (Chorus) I’m fightin’ demons in the dark where nobody sees, Screamin’ out for help but it’s silent when I breathe, Tryna find peace, but it’s runnin’ from me, I’m lost in my mind, tryna set myself free. Yeah, I smile so they think that I’m okay, But inside, man, I’m slowly driftin’ away, Every night feel like I’m stuck in the rain, Tryna heal, but I’m drownin’ in the pain. (Bridge) But I’m still here… yeah, I’m still standin’, Even when my whole world feel like it’s abandoned, Every scar, every tear got a reason, Maybe one day I’ll believe it… (Verse 3) So I take one step, even if it’s slow, Even in the dark, I’ma search for hope, Learnin’ how to breathe when I feel that choke, Turnin’ all this pain into words I wrote. If you feel the same, just know you ain’t alone, We all got battles that we fight on our own, But there’s strength in speakin’, let your truth be known, Even broken hearts can still find a home.
