Fragments of Silence1

Intro:

Sometimes the world feels heavy,

Too many voices, too much noise.

Verse 1:

I walk these streets, a silent ghost,

In a crowd but I feel alone the most,

Too many faces, too many frowns,

Can’t escape this heavy sound.

Chorus:

I don't like people, I don't like to talk,

Used to feel love, now it's all just a mock,

Too much negativity, drowning in hate,

Too much toxicity, can't take it, I break.

Verse 2:

Scrolling through feeds, just a bitter taste,

Words like daggers, moving with haste,

Searching for kindness in a sea of disdain,

It's hard to stay hopeful when you're drowning in pain.

Chorus:

I don't like people, I don't like to talk,

Used to feel love, now it's all just a mock,

Too much negativity, drowning in hate,

Too much toxicity, can't take it, I break.

Bridge:

In the quiet between chaos, a spark starts to fight,

A raw, stubborn ember defying endless night,

Though dark memories echo and shadows call my name,

In shattered silence, I learn—there's a way to rise again.

Verse 3:

I step past the echoes of every bitter word,

Collecting lost fragments of a self never heard,

Scars tell the story of battles fought alone,

Each mark a reminder I'm more than what's been shown.

Chorus/Fin:

I still don't trust the noise, and I often walk alone,

But these fractured pieces slowly start to form a home,

From all the crushing hate, there's a fire I can stoke,

Rebuilding through the silence, even if I break or choke.

Outro:

In this broken world, the night's not all it seems,

In every shattered piece, a whisper nurtures dreams.
