Silent Screams Within

[Intro] Silent rooms, a hollow drum inside my chest Breath fogs the window of a life that won’t confess [Verse 1] I wear a quiet storm, a sunless midday glare Every smile I borrow slips away, unshared prayer Windows shut to voices that refuse to hear I’m compassless, losing north in a fog of fear [Chorus] This is the ache you can’t translate A scream that hides behind a fragile face If you listen close, you’ll hear the ache I’m keeping A heart that’s breaking, while the world keeps sleeping [Verse 2] I walk through crowded rooms, a ghost with a name The chorus hums outside, but I’m far outside the frame Words come wrong, like rain that can’t find the ground In a chorus of silence, I’m the note not found [Chorus] This is the ache you can’t translate A scream that hides behind a fragile face If you listen close, you’ll hear the ache I’m keeping A heart that’s breaking, while the world keeps sleeping [Bridge] Undercurrents pull at fragile shores of skin A language of sorrow etched deep within If you could hear the tremor under the skin you live in Maybe you’d understand the hush I’m living in [Chorus] This is the ache you can’t translate A scream that hides behind a fragile face If you listen close, you’ll hear the ache I’m keeping A heart that’s breaking, while the world keeps sleeping [Outro] Quiet now, the echo finds my chest and chills I breathe the night, and hope the morning somehow fills
