Nobody Knows

[Verse 1] I put the suit on, check the mirror, lookin’ sharp today Another hollow smile to keep the questions far away They ask me how I’m doing, I just nod and say I’m fine While there’s a heavy thunderstorm erupting in my mind I’m playing every role, the man they want me to become But underneath the fabric, I am feeling cold and numb My pulse is racing steady but my spirit’s in a grave I’m the master of the secrets that I’m terrified to save. [Chorus] 'Cause nobody knows the war I’m fighting in the dark Nobody sees the embers dying out inside the spark They see the golden frame, they never look beneath the skin They love the man I’m showing, not the ghost I keep within Yeah, nobody knows, and that’s the way I let it stay I’m drowning in the silence while I’m wishing it away. [Verse 2] I’m scrolling through the photos, just a gallery of lies Capturing the sunlight just to hide the weary eyes I’m pouring out a drink, watching shadows hit the floor Locking up my demons just behind the bedroom door It’s a rhythm in the static, it’s a trap I built myself With all these unread chapters sitting lonely on the shelf I’m reaching out for something that I can’t even define Just a prisoner of comfort, losing track of all the time. [Chorus] 'Cause nobody knows the war I’m fighting in the dark Nobody sees the embers dying out inside the spark They see the golden frame, they never look beneath the skin They love the man I’m showing, not the ghost I keep within Yeah, nobody knows, and that’s the way I let it stay I’m drowning in the silence while I’m wishing it away. [Verse 3] Is it worth the heavy breathing? Is it worth the constant act? Trying to hold the pieces while I’m losing all the track Of who I was before the fame, before the heavy weight Now I’m just a stranger walking through the iron gate I don’t want your pity, I don’t want your hollow praise I just want to find a way to exit from this maze But I’m trapped inside the trap soul, living in the blur Waiting for the moment that the truth might just occur. [Bridge] And if I broke the silence, would you even hear the sound? Or would you turn your back while I am face down on the ground? I’m screaming in a vacuum, no echo to be found Just me and all the echoes of the things I’ve never bound. [Outro] Yeah, nobody knows. I keep it buried deep. Secrets that I keep. While the city’s fast asleep. Nobody knows. (I’m just a ghost in my own skin) Nobody knows. (Let the silence win) It’s just me. Nobody knows.
