Invisible

I feel the words trapped inside my chest
Like they're banging on the walls but can't find the rest
I want to speak, I want to shout
But every time I try, the silence wins out.
It's like there's a war between my mind and my voice
And I'm screaming so loud, but I don't have a choice
I'm held down by fear, tied up by doubt
While everyone around wonders why I won't speak out.

You see my lips, but they won't make a sound
The words are there, but they can't come around
Inside I'm running, but outside I'm still
A prisoner of silence against my will.

I'm screaming inside, but you can't hear
Locked in a world where I disappear
I'm fighting this battle, I'm trying to break free
But my body won't listen, it's betraying me.
I'm not invisible, though it feels that way
I've got a voice, but it hides away
One day I'll find it, I'll let it ring
Until then, I'll keep fighting this silent thing.

You look at me like I'm standing in stone
But you don't know the storm that I face alone
Every word I hold feels like it weighs a ton
And the more I try to speak, the more they come undone.
I want to tell you everything inside my mind
But the chains are too heavy, the fear's intertwined
So I stay in this quiet, where I feel most safe
Even though my silence is a world I hate.

You see my lips, but they won't make a sound
The words are there, but they can't come around
Inside I'm running, but outside I'm still
A prisoner of silence against my will.

I'm screaming inside, but you can't hear
Locked in a world where I disappear
I'm fighting this battle, I'm trying to break free
But my body won't listen, it's betraying me.
I'm not invisible, though it feels that way
I've got a voice, but it hides away
One day I'll find it, I'll let it ring
Until then, I'll keep fighting this silent thing.

I know I'm more than the quiet you see
There's a whole world inside, trying to be free
The words are building, they're waiting their time
One day they'll break through, and I'll speak my mind.

I'm screaming inside, but you can't hear
Locked in a world where I disappear
I'm fighting this battle, I'm trying to break free
But my body won't listen, it's betraying me.
I'm not invisible, though it feels that way
I've got a voice, but it hides away
One day I'll find it, I'll let it ring
Until then, I'll keep fighting this silent thing.

Until then, I'll keep fighting this silent thing.
One day I'll break through, and my voice will sing.
