There's a quiet in my chest
Where the storms refuse to rest
Every whisper in my bones
Says I'm hurting all alone

I hide the shadows in my skin
Where the daylight can't get in
Every breath becomes a plea
For someone else to notice me

But I keep walking
Even when I break inside

These silent wounds
They echo in the dark
A quiet pain
That's burning in my heart
No one sees
What I try to fight
Silent wounds
That never touch the light

There are stories in my eyes
Written through forgotten cries
Every tear I didn't spill
Stands frozen–waiting still

I tried to stitch myself again
But the threads just never mend
Every scar beneath my soul
Still asks a way to be made whole

Still I'm walking
Even when I break inside

These silent wounds
They echo in the dark
A quiet pain
That's burning in my heart
No one sees
What I try to fight
Silent wounds
That never touch the light

Maybe someday
Someone hears the sound
Of all the pieces
Falling to the ground

Maybe someday
I won't have to hide
The pain I carry
Deeply locked inside

These silent wounds
Still echo in the dark
A quiet pain
Still burning in my heart
Maybe soon
I'll find a guiding light
For silent wounds
To finally breathe in light
