Текст песни
I keep a steady face in daylight
Like nothing’s out of place
I shake the hands, I hold the smile
I memorize the shape
But underneath the surface
There’s a current pulling down
A quiet kind of violence
That never makes a sound
You say, “You look so strong”
You say, “You’re doing fine”
But strength is just a mask I wear
To hide the fault line
There’s a war inside my skin
And I’m fighting just to breathe
Every night it pulls me under
Every morning I repeat
I’m not broken — I’m awake
I’m not weak — I just bend
But this war inside my skin
Has to end
I build my walls like armor
Brick by brick by brick
If I let the silence linger
It starts to make me sick
Every doubt becomes a soldier
Marching through my head
Every fear a loaded weapon
Pointed at my chest
You don’t see the fractures
Hidden in my calm
You don’t hear the echo
Of the damage in my lungs
There’s a war inside my skin
And I’m done with standing still
I won’t drown in my own shadow
I won’t break against my will
I’m not shattered — I’m alive
I won’t fade — I won’t pretend
This war inside my skin
Will end
I gave it all my silence
I gave it all my fear
But I won’t feed the darkness
Another year
You don’t get to own me
You don’t get my name
This fight is mine
And I won’t play your game
There’s a war inside my skin
But I’m louder than the noise
I won’t let it steal my future
I won’t let it kill my voice
I rise up through the wreckage
Through the fire and the pain
This war inside my skin
I will win
