Invisible Walls

[Verse]
I wear a mask so nobody sees
The things I lock up inside of me
A heart that speaks but whispers low
Afraid of the winds that might blow
[Verse 2]
The lunchroom laughter feels so far
These friends of mine don’t know who they are
If they knew
Would they all just turn?
Would kindness fade
Would bridges burn?
[Chorus]
Invisible walls I cannot climb
Hiding myself like it’s a crime
The world’s so loud
It’s big and wide
But I can’t step out from where I hide
[Verse 3]
I want the light but I fear the flame
Will their eyes change when they hear my name?
This truth I hold is heavy steel
It binds my voice
It makes me kneel
[Bridge]
What if someday they see my heart
And it tears this whole world apart?
Would they still smile
Would they still care?
Or would they act like I’m not there?
[Chorus]
Invisible walls I cannot climb
Hiding myself like it’s a crime
The world’s so loud
It’s big and wide
But I can’t step out from where I hide
