Underneath the Surface

(hmmmmm) There’s a voice inside the walls tonight

Turning every shadow into judging eyes

I walk outside, but I can’t breathe

Feels like the whole world’s watching me

Every whisper sounds like my name

Every silence feels like blame

My mind is tired,

my heart is sore I don’t know what I’m fighting for

My demon’s pulling me under I’m losing control It’s tearing through my

thoughts

And bruising my soul I feel like everybody’s judging me Wherever I

go

I’m crying underneath the surface But nobody knows I

wear a smile so no one sees

The storm that’s shaking underneath

I read too much into every glance

Like I’m standing trial with no defense I try to run,

but I’m still here

Trapped in the echo of my fear

The mirror says I’m not enough And every breath feels way too

rough

Maybe the voices aren’t the truth Maybe this pain is hiding proof

That I’m not weak for feeling lost I’m just a heart that’s

hurting hard So I’ll reach out through the noise tonight Let someone

in and turn on the light I don’t have to face this

on my own I don’t have to make this dark my home

My demon’s losing power I’m taking control The fear is still around

me But it won’t own my soul I may feel like everybody’s

judging me But I’m learning to know The harshest voice is in

my mind And I can let it go

If my thoughts become a storm again

I’ll call somebody I can trust

I’m more than all the eyes I fear More than the pain

that brought me here The night is long,

but I’m still breathing Still here,

still healing,

still believing

(ahhhh, still breathing)
