Buried Inside

I’ve been running through landmines dressed like peace

Smiling in a war zone, crying underneath

They see the mask, not the cracks in my bones

They hear my voice, not the pain I tone

Talk like I'm fine, but I’m fading fast

Glass in my throat from the words I’ve masked

This weight’s a ghost sits on my chest

Won’t leave me alone, won’t let me rest

No escape, no open door

I'm screaming silently through the floor

Nobody sees the storm inside

I'm breaking—can’t even cry

I’m holding on by a wire that’s frayed

Tired of pretending I’m not afraid

I wanna scream and cry at the same damn time

But the pain’s too loud inside my mind

So much I can't let out, can't confide

Only I can feel what’s buried inside

Yeah voices in my head like a twisted choir

Telling me run, set my soul on fire

I wanna disappear, burn this skin

Stay away from the weight I’m drowning in

I smile like a liar, laugh like a ghost

Toast to survival, but I’m comatose

I carry my silence like a loaded blade

Cutting through nights I can’t escape

No reset, no peace of mind

These shadows talk in double time

No one sees the price I hide

I'm caged in pain I can't describe

I’m holding on by a wire that’s frayed

Tired of pretending I’m not afraid

I wanna scream and cry at the same damn time

But the pain’s too loud inside my mind

So much I can't let out, can't confide

Only I can feel what’s buried inside

I WANNA RUN DON’T MAKE ME STAY!

TAKE THIS HELL, JUST BURN IT AWAY!

Please help me…

This weight is crushing me

I WANNA LET IT OUT, BUT I CHOKE!

EVERY WORD I NEED TO SAY JUST BROKE!

No one knows what’s buried in me...

I’m holding on by a thread of pain

Every smile’s just acid rain

I’m screaming and crying in silent fights

While the world keeps moving like I’m alright

There’s so much I’ll never confide

Only I can feel what’s buried inside

Too loud inside…

Please… help me…

My chest is heavy…

I’m buried where no one can find.
