no one knows

I am not happy but no one can tell
Trapped in a story, too quiet to yell
Laughing in daylight, crying at night
Falling in pieces out of their sight

[Verse 1]
The smiles I paint on, a practiced facade
Echoes of laughter, a hollow parade
They see the surface, the calm, steady tide
Never the wreckage that brews deep inside

[Chorus]
Invisible cracks in a porcelain shell
A silent scream that no one can tell
Lost in the shadows where sunlight won't creep
Secrets I bury, promises I keep

[Verse 2]
The words they speak, they bounce off the air
While I'm adrift in a world of despair
A phantom limb ache, a ghost of a plea
Just out of reach for them all to see

[Chorus]
Invisible cracks in a porcelain shell
A silent scream that no one can tell
Lost in the shadows where sunlight won't creep
Secrets I bury, promises I keep

[Bridge]
I weave my illusions, a masterful lie
Hoping someday the truth will just fly
But the weight of the quiet, it presses me down
Another lost soul in this bustling town

[Chorus]
Invisible cracks in a porcelain shell
A silent scream that no one can tell
Lost in the shadows where sunlight won't creep
Secrets I bury, promises I keep

[Outro]
Falling in pieces, out of their sight
Fading away in the pale moonlight
