Painted smile across my face

While my heart's in a darker place

Everyone thinks I'm doing fine

But I'm falling apart inside

Small talk feels like broken glass

Pretending that the pain will pass

Nodding when they ask me how I've been

While the storm is raging within

Can you hear me? Can you see?

The war that's tearing up me?

I'm silent screaming, silent screaming

Nobody knows that I'm not breathing

Silent screaming, silent screaming

My soul is bleeding but I'm still believing

That I'll make it through another day

With this mask that hides the pain away

Silent screaming, silent screaming

Can anybody hear me?

Three AM I'm wide awake

Pillow soaked for my own sake

Morning comes, I dry my eyes

Put on my perfect disguise

Laugh at jokes that aren't funny

Act like everything's sunny

But behind these walls I've built so high

I'm learning how to die

Can you hear me? Can you see?

The war that's tearing up me?

I'm silent screaming, silent screaming

Nobody knows that I'm not breathing

Silent screaming, silent screaming

My soul is bleeding but I'm still believing

That I'll make it through another day

With this mask that hides the pain away

Silent screaming, silent screaming

Can anybody hear me?

What if I let the mask fall down?

What if I made a sound?

Would they run or would they stay

If they saw me this way?

Maybe silence isn't strength

Maybe I've gone to any length

To hide the parts that make me real

The parts that hurt, the parts that feel

I'm done with silent screaming, silent screaming

Time to show that I've been bleeding

Silent screaming, silent screaming

Finally ready to start healing

I'll make it through another day

Without this mask that hides the pain away

No more silent screaming, silent screaming

Somebody's gonna hear me

Let me scream, let me cry

Let me show you what's inside

No more silent, no more hiding

My voice is rising, rising, rising
