Locked Inside

(Verse 1)
I've been hiding for so long, can't tell what's real
Built a world on lies just to survive, now it's all I feel
The truth's a distant memory, buried deep inside
Every word, every story, just another place to hide

(Pre-Chorus)
I wanna cry, but the tears won't show
The guilt and pain, they won't let go
My memories, are they even mine?
Or just the ghosts I left behind?

(Chorus)
How do I share when I don't know what's true?
Living this lie is all I knew
I'm lost, alone, incomplete
Without this mask, I'm feeling weak
But life keeps going, and so do I
Caught in the silence, afraid to try
Will I ever know what's real, or stay locked inside?

(Verse 2)
Every step I take, it's a shadowed maze
Haunted by the past in a thousand ways
I wanna stop, I wanna break free
But the lies are wrapped so tight around me

(Pre-Chorus)
I scream inside, but there's no sound
Looking for a light that can't be found
The truth feels like a foreign place
A distant dream I'm scared to face

(Chorus)
How do I share when I don't know what's true?
Living this lie is all I knew
I'm lost, alone, incomplete
Without this mask, I'm feeling weak
But life keeps going, and so do I
Caught in the silence, afraid to try
Will I ever know what's real, or stay locked inside?

(Bridge)
Is there a voice that can tell me it's okay?
To let it out, to find a way
But the silence screams so loud in me
I don't know how to set it free

(Final Chorus)
How do I share when I don't know what's true?
Living this lie is all I knew
I'm lost, alone, incomplete
Without this mask, I'm feeling weak
But life keeps going, and so do I
Caught in the silence, afraid to try
Will I ever know what's real, or stay locked inside?

(Outro)
Maybe someday I'll find the key
But for now, the lies are all of me
