Grasping For Air (Nobody Cares)

Started with whispers

Thoughts in corners

Sixteen and smiling

But dying inside

Behind this disguise

Mirror sees

What I wish I could be

But all that I see

Is the broken me

Friends all around, 

I'm still alone

In crowded rooms, 

I'm so all alone 

Shadows in the light, 

They swallow me

It’s darker each year

Each day on my own

The weight of tomorrow

Too much to bear,

Nobody cares

And I'm gasping for air

There’s no hope

In vain we fight

Shadows getting dark

There is no light

Thirty-five

The mask's wearing thin

The chaos outside

The demons within

Success on the surface

I’m in a hollow hell

Pretending I'm fine

When you ask if all’s well

The silence is louder

More than all the noise

The attic needs to be cleaned

The junk and all the toys

I used to dream

I just survive

To be in hell,

Is to be alive

Shadows in the light

They swallow me

It’s darker each year

Each day on my own

The weight of tomorrow

Too much to bear

Nobody cares

And I'm gasping for air

The signs you saw

Turned a blind eye

Ignored the call

You watched me die

Shadows in the light

They swallow me

It’s darker each year

Each day on my own

The weight of tomorrow 

Too much to bear

Nobody cares 

I'm gasping for air

The whispers, 

And the voice

It doesn’t matter

There’s no choice

Shadows in the light, 

They swallow me

It’s darker each year

Each day on my own

The weight of tomorrow 

Too much to bear,

Nobody cares,

You’re gasping for air
