Edge of despair

Waking up to another day, the same old fight
Try to blend into the crowd, but nothing feels right
Whispers behind me, they're cutting like a knife
All the laughs and the stares, they haunt my life

Every word, every shove, it breaks me down
In the hallways, I'm lost, I'm not found
But I'll keep wearing this fake smile for now
Hold it together, just somehow

I'm screaming inside, but no one can hear
Drowning in silence, swallowed by fear
Holding on to a thread, hope is unclear
I'm screaming inside, wishing someone would care

♪

Lunch alone, I stare at my phone, it's all I've got
Scroll through pictures of lives that I'll never have
Locked in the bathroom, tears that won't stop
Every day's just another photograph

Every name, every prank, it's all too much
In my mind, there's a war I can't hush
But I'll keep acting like I'm tough
Pretend that it doesn't hurt as much

I'm screaming inside, but no one can hear
Drowning in silence, swallowed by fear
Holding on to a thread, hope is unclear
I'm screaming inside, wishing someone would care

In the dead of night, my thoughts run wild
Can't escape from this, I'm just a child
Living in a world that's so unkind
Every shadow a ghost in my mind

Now I stand on the edge, the end feels so near
No more tomorrows, just darkness here
Years of torment, they brought me to this place
A goodbye letter, tears stain my face

I'm screaming inside, but no one can hear
Drowning in silence, swallowed by fear
Holding on to a thread, hope is unclear
I'm screaming inside, wishing someone would care

If you're hearing this, I hope you understand
This wasn't how I planned to end
But the pain was too much for me to bear
I'm screaming inside, wishing someone would care
