Silent screams behind my smile
Bruised by words that stay awhile
No fists, no scars, no broken bones
Just empty rooms I call my home
You won’t hear it, but it’s there
A quiet violence, everywhere
This is my quiet violence
Breaking me in perfect silence
No shattered glass, no shattered skin
Just the war I fight within
Paper cuts inside my head
Whispered doubts I never shed
They told me: Man up, don’t you cry
So I learned to bleed inside
You won’t hear it, but it’s there
A quiet violence, I swear
This is my quiet violence
Breaking me in perfect silence
No shattered glass, no shattered skin
Just the war I fight within
And nobody knows, nobody sees
But I break quietly
This is my quiet violence
Breaking me in perfect silence
No shattered glass, no shattered skin
Just the war I fight within
