Nobody Gets Me

They look at me but they don't see the screen

Behind the static where I've always been

I'm speaking words but they just hit a wall

They say they get it but they don't at all

"Just cheer up, put a smile upon your face"

While I am suffocating in this empty space (yeah) No one can

touch the frequency I'm on

Another heavy night, another broken dawn

And nobody knows the weight that's in my chest

They think they understand but they just guess

I'm on an island where the water's cold and deep

With secrets that I only let the silence keep

(no, they don't know) They love the version of me that they

made A cardboard cutout that will never fade But underneath the skin

the fractures grow

A silent language that they'll never know (never know) They ask me

why I'm quiet in the room

But explainin' it just feels like deeper doom

So I just nod and say that I'm alright And disappear into

the velvet night

No bridge to cross,

no hand to hold

Just another story

left untold (ahhhh)

Yeah,

nobody knows... (no one) Behind the screen...
