Lyrics: Nazmi Herdani

**Title: Silent Applause**
(Verse 1)
In a crowded room, where the laughter swells,
I wear a mask, but no one can tell,
Chasing dreams like whispers in the dark,
But every step I take leaves a bitter mark.
(Pre-Chorus)
I paint my smile with colors of despair,
A marionette dancing, caught in thin air,
No hands to lift me when I reach for the sky,
Just empty glances, and a silent goodbye.
(Chorus)
Iβm the ghost in the mirror, with a heart made of glass,
Fragments of hope that shatter so fast,
When I conquer a mountain, no cheers in the hall,
But when I stumble, Iβm the one to fall.
(Verse 2)
Behind the curtains, where the secrets hide,
I wear the blame like a badge of pride,
A jester in chains, my laughter's a lie,
While the world spins on, Iβm just passing by.
(Pre-Chorus)
I reach for the stars, but they slip through my hands,
In a parade of silence, no one understands,
The triumphs I cradle turn to dust in my palm,
And the failures I carry like a haunting psalm.
(Chorus)
Iβm the ghost in the mirror, with a heart made of glass,
Fragments of hope that shatter so fast,
When I conquer a mountain, no cheers in the hall,
But when I stumble, Iβm the one to fall.
(Bridge)
In the theater of dreams, I play the lone part,
A symphony of silence, a fractured heart,
With every victory that fades in the night,
I drown in the whispers that steal away light.
(Chorus)
Iβm the ghost in the mirror, with a heart made of glass,
Fragments of hope that shatter so fast,
When I conquer a mountain, no cheers in the hall,
But when I stumble, Iβm the one to fall.
(Outro)
So here I stand, in the echoes of my pain,
A canvas of sorrow, a whisper of disdain,
In a world full of noise, Iβm lost in the throng,
Just a lonely figure, where I donβt belong.
