Silent Scream

(Verse 1) In the shadows of the night, Where the echoes fade away, There’s a battle deep inside, That no one hears, no one can say. He hides behind a smile, Wears his heart upon his sleeve, In a world so hostile, He’s got no room, no room to grieve. (Pre-Chorus) But in the silence, there's a cry, A whisper in the storm, He’s holding on, just getting by, Waiting for the dawn. (Chorus) Can you hear the silent scream? It’s louder than it seems, A broken heart, a shattered dream, He’s drowning in the stream. Can you hear the silent scream? Beneath the surface of the gleam, He’s fighting hard, he’s tearing at the seam, Oh, can you hear the silent scream? (Verse 2) In the mirror, he's a ghost, A shadow of the past, He’s lost the things he loved the most, But he won’t let you see the cracks. He stands tall, unafraid, But inside, he’s torn apart, Every night, a new crusade, To mend his broken heart. (Pre-Chorus) But in the silence, there's a cry, A whisper in the storm, He’s holding on, just getting by, Waiting for the dawn. (Chorus) Can you hear the silent scream? It’s louder than it seems, A broken heart, a shattered dream, He’s drowning in the stream. Can you hear the silent scream? Beneath the surface of the gleam, He’s fighting hard, he’s tearing at the seam, Oh, can you hear the silent scream? (Bridge) In a world that doesn’t see, The pain he hides so deep, He’s longing to be free, From the secrets he can’t keep. In every tear he’s never shed, In every word he never spoke, In the silence, in his head, There’s a scream that’s never broke. (Chorus) Can you hear the silent scream? It’s louder than it seems, A broken heart, a shattered dream, He’s drowning in the stream. Can you hear the silent scream? Beneath the surface of the gleam, He’s fighting hard, he’s tearing at the seam, Oh, can you hear the silent scream? In the end, he’ll rise above, Find the strength to show his pain, In the silence, he’ll find love, And he’ll never scream in vain.
