Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I bite my tongue until it bleeds,
Swallowing words, choking on needs.
A shadow cast in their bright light,
Invisible even in plain sight.

Their burdens weigh upon my chest,
I carry them all, give them my best.
But when I ache, when I’m in pain,
My voice is lost, it dies in vain.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m a ghost in their kingdom, a whisper in the crowd,
Afraid my truth might speak too loud.

[Chorus]
I make myself small, a fading flame,
Hiding my hurt, taking the blame.
I only exist for what they need,
Silent sacrifice, the life I lead.
A prisoner of their fragile peace,
Trapped in a cage that will never release.

[Verse 2]
I wear my silence like a crown,
A ruler of nothing, beaten down.
They never ask, they never see,
The hollow void that’s left of me.

I’m too afraid to break their hearts,
So I’m the one who falls apart.
A smile that hides the tears I shed,
A living soul that feels half-dead.

[Pre-Chorus]
I shrink myself to keep them whole,
A martyr born without control.

[Chorus]
I make myself small, a fading flame,
Hiding my hurt, taking the blame.
I only exist for what they need,
Silent sacrifice, the life I lead.
A prisoner of their fragile peace,
Trapped in a cage that will never release.

[Bridge]
Every thought I crush, every need I deny,
Is another piece of me I let die.
I long to scream, to feel, to be free,
But the fear of their pain keeps shackling me.

[Breakdown]
I am the wall they lean upon,
But when I break, they’ll move along.
No one sees the cracks inside,
The shattered soul I’ve tried to hide.

[Chorus]
I make myself small, a fading flame,
Hiding my hurt, taking the blame.
I only exist for what they need,
Silent sacrifice, the life I lead.
A prisoner of their fragile peace,
Trapped in a cage that will never release.

[Outro]
And when I’m gone, will they even know?
The pain I bore, the weight, the woe.
The girl who made herself unseen,
A silent sacrifice, a forgotten queen.
