Can't you hear my silent screams?
They are so loud they echo in my dreams.
Behind this face that carries a smile
Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile.
My silent screams have been going on for years,
But it always falls on so many deaf ears.
How can they hear these silent screams in my mind?
They can't hear my thoughts if I keep telling them I'm fine.
What can I tell them? These silent screams carry no words.
It's just feelings of sadness and darkness that come in its herds.
How can I explain so people understand this?
It's like walking around in a suffocating black mist.
It's holding on to happiness like holding water in your hands.
It just trickles between your fingers and disappears into the sands.
I can't explain how this feels; it's so extreme,
So I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams.
