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
