Lyrics
Verse 1
Invisible chains, they bind me tight,
Every crowd a field of silent fights.
Eyes like lasers, judgment burns my skin,
The voice inside screams, "They'll never let you in."
Panic whispers, a noose around my throat,
Words get tangled, I can only choke.
Solitude's a fortress, but the walls feel thin,
Haunted by the life I never will begin.
Chorus
Social anxiety, my silent jailer,
Whispers doubt and writes my failure.
Every stranger's face, a potential threat,
My heart races, trapped in a cold sweat.
This invisible war, nobody will see,
But it grinds me down, erases the real me.
Verse 2
A party invite, stab of icy fear,
Small talk's a minefield, every word feels unclear.
The practiced smile hides the trembling within,
Faking normal, but the fear begins to win.
Overanalyzing every single glance,
A master of escape, avoiding every chance.
The nights are sleepless, replays in my head,
Every awkward moment, every word I wish I'd unsaid.
Chorus
Social anxiety, my silent jailer,
Whispers doubt and writes my failure.
Every stranger's face, a potential threat,
My heart races, trapped in a cold sweat.
This invisible war, nobody will see,
But it grinds me down, erases the real me.
Bridge
I see the easy laughter, the friendships that flow,
And the burning envy begins to grow.
A life half-lived, trapped behind a wall,
Can I find the strength to break this anxious thrall?
Chorus
Social anxiety, my silent jailer,
Whispers doubt and writes my failure.
Every stranger's face, a potential threat,
My heart races, trapped in a cold sweat.
This invisible war, nobody will see,
But it grinds me down, erases the real me.
Outro
But there's a flicker, a fight still in me,
To reclaim the person I'm meant to be.
One small step, then another, and another again,
Maybe one day, I'll break these chains.
