With no-one left to talk to,
without anyone to tell,
the stress just keeps on mounting,
the tension goes on growing,
the pain keeps gnawing at my heart
until I can’t go on.
Can’t you see me, here in the corner,
silently screaming in my everyday shell?

I’m the one with the bland facade,
the lopsided grin and jokes on cue,
bluffing a path through every day,
trying not to let it show,
waiting for the world to go away,
sure it never will.
Don’t you see me, here in the corner,
silently screaming in an everyday shell?

Without anyone there who understands,
no-one else who knows how it feels.
the strain keeps pressing at my mind,
the tension keeps on growing,
the pressure pounds behind my eyes
until I can’t go on.
Can’t you hear me, here in the corner,
silently screaming in my everyday shell?
