The walls are closing in, the air is getting thin,
As the quietness seeps beneath my skin,
But I just keep holding it all in,
I am strong, but it's all just pretend,
The thoughts that cross my mind, tell me I'm just fine,
That to others we must be kind,
But is it a lie, if I close my eyes,
Would it be better if I pretend to die?
If I could just cut one more line,
Would it be my one last time?
But only then will I know that I am fine,
That's okay to not be okay,
That I can escape the walls I live behind,
But I'm confined, chained to the dark,
What others see is an empty heart,
The light is quite stark,
On the other side of the wall
~

Tears fall against the windowpane,
As shattered glass dances with the shadows,
Underneath the cold and pain,
Emptiness of what it remains

The walls are closing in, the air is getting thin,
As the quietness seeps beneath my skin,
But I just keep holding it all in,
Silence is all that remains,
Of repeated cries that were never heard,
From echoes that had blurred,
I am strong, but it's all just pretend,
My strength wants to weaken,
Just one more line, it would be the last time,
That's okay to not be okay,
That I can escape the walls I live behind,
But I'm confined, chained to the dark,
What others see is an empty heart,
The light is quite stark,
On the other side of the wall
~

Tears fall against the windowpane,
As shattered glass dances with the shadows,
Underneath the cold and pain,
Emptiness of what it remains,
A storm raging in the dark,
Born from a beating heart
