Lyrics
Verse 1:
Shadows in the chest
Where words were never meant to go
With weights that no one will ever know
They are rooms too full to open
Chorus:
Hearts too heavy
We break in silence
Lost souls that keep on fighting
Too proud to fall
Verse 2:
For the pain that lives beneath the skin
We build the walls, we let them burn
And we smile through gritted teeth
Even when everything feels wrong
Chorus:
We are the ones who stand in the dark
With hearts too heavy
We break in silence
Lost souls that keep on fighting
Too proud to fall
Bridge:
It's just another name for fear
Everything we have disappears
While we hold the storms
While we hold the tears
We carry on, because stopping means to die
Final Chorus:
Men in the dark
Hearts still beating, still scarred
For the weight they chose to bear
For stories never told
In sacrifice, in silent pain
Still standing, still working
Too strong to quit, too wounded to heal
Outro:
Some call it living
Still doing right when no one's there to see
Lost souls in the dark
But free men
