Craving Compassion

Verse 1: Waking up, the weight on my chest. Smothering, can't catch my breath. Mirrors lie, reflecting someone else, trapped inside, a prison of myself. Pre-Chorus: Tidal waves of doubt consume me, insecurities drown out reality. Grasping for a glimmer of clarity, but the darkness just keeps pulling me under. Chorus: Why can't you see me? The real me, beneath the surface. Drowning in this sea of anxiety, desperate to be noticed, to be heard. If you'd just take the time to look, you'd find the broken pieces, Aching to be put back together, longing to be understood. Verse 2: Fading fast, losing the will to fight. Succumbing to the shadows of the night, Numb to the pain, numb to the fear, wishing I could disappear. Chorus: Why can't you see me? The real me, beneath the surface. Drowning in this sea of anxiety, desperate to be noticed, to be heard. If you'd just take the time to look, you'd find the broken pieces, Aching to be put back together, longing to be understood, to be loved. I've cried out for help, but my voice is lost at sea. The waves of despair have drowned out my pleas. Alone in this abyss, with no one to catch my fall, As I surrender to the tide, resigning myself to it all. Chorus: Why couldn't you see me? The real me, beneath the surface. Drowning in this sea of anxiety, desperate to be noticed, to be heard. If you'd only taken the time to look, you'd have found the broken pieces, Aching to be put back together, longing to be understood, to be loved. Outro: But now it's too late, the light has faded away. Consumed by the darkness, no more will to stay. I drift off into the depths, my soul forever unseen, Vanishing without a trace, a tragedy never to be redeemed.
