Pressure on my shoulders tight
I'm a boy who hides his fight
Tears won't fall no not tonight
Holding back with all my might
Silent struggles deep inside
In this world I can't confide
Feel the pain but still I hide
Too much weight my heart is tied
I don't cry no I don't break
All my strength it feels so fake
Behind this mask it's hard to shake
In the dark my heart will ache
Friends around but feel alone
In this crowd I'm still unknown
Wishing I could turn to stone
So my cracks will never show
Feeling numb with every day
Words unspoken fade to gray
Lost and wandering in the fray
Dreams of freedom slip away
Eyes are dry but soul's on fire
Burning with this quiet choir
Every heartbeat beats a liar
Holding on though I am tired
