Scars Under the Noise

Lyrics

INTRO (Clean Guitar)
Soft guitar with reverb
[Spoken] I grew up carrying ghosts nobody could see...
Everybody saw the anger...
Nobody saw the fear...
VERSE 1 (FAST RAP)
I remember every fight, every door that slammed,
Every time I felt alone, nobody gave a damn,
Always feeling like a burden, like I wasn't enough,
Learned to hide my emotions, learned to act tough.
Fear of losing everybody that I ever knew,
Fear of saying what I felt, fear of telling the truth,
People see the outside but they never see the pain,
Never see the thunder hiding underneath the rain.
My mind moving fast like a train off the rail,
Trying to keep breathing while my confidence fails,
Everybody talking but they never understand,
Why I'm shaking inside while I'm clenching my hands.
I was looking for a reason, looking for a sign,
Trying to find some peace inside this head of mine,
Growing up confused, feeling broken and lost,
Trying to survive no matter what it cost.
PRE-CHORUS
Every night I'm asking why,
Every day I'm trying to fight,
Holding on with all I got,
Even when I'm losing sight.
CHORUS (HARD ROCK)
I'M SCREAMING THROUGH THE SILENCE!
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
I'M TIRED OF FEELING BROKEN,
BUT I WON'T BACK DOWN!
THESE SCARS INSIDE MY MEMORY,
THEY FOLLOW ME AROUND,
BUT I'M STILL STANDING HERE TODAY,
I'M NOT IN THE GROUND!
VERSE 2 (FASTER RAP)
My emotions hit hard like a hurricane spin,
Every battle that I fought started deep within,
People telling me I'm wrong, people telling me relax,
But they never carried all the weight upon my back.
Always scared somebody's leaving when they say goodbye,
Always wondering if they're leaving me behind,
Overthinking every word, every look, every tone,
Feeling crowded by the world while I'm feeling alone.
Trying to trust but the fear keeps returning,
Trying to heal but the bridges keep burning,
Heart beating fast when the pressure arrives,
Just another day trying hard to survive.
I remember all the nights that I couldn't slow down,
Thoughts spinning in circles while the world spun around,
Looking in the mirror asking who I became,
Trying not to drown inside the weight of the shame.
CHORUS
I'M SCREAMING THROUGH THE SILENCE!
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
I'M TIRED OF FEELING BROKEN,
BUT I WON'T BACK DOWN!
THESE SCARS INSIDE MY MEMORY,
THEY FOLLOW ME AROUND,
BUT I'M STILL STANDING HERE TODAY,
I'M NOT IN THE GROUND!
HARD ROCK RIFF

VERSE 3 (FASTEST RAP)
Mind racing, heart pacing, walls closing in,
Trying to keep control while the chaos begins,
Every memory hitting like a punch in the chest,
Trying to find some peace but I never get rest.
Everybody got advice, everybody got a view,
But they never walked the miles that I've been through,
Never carried all the fear, never carried all the doubt,
Never felt the storm inside trying to get out.
But I'm still here, still breathing, still alive,
Still standing after every time I thought I wouldn't survive,
Every scar became a lesson, every wound became a page,
Now I'm turning all the pain into fuel for the stage.
BREAKDOWN (SAD HARD ROCK)
I never wanted to be perfect...
I only wanted to be heard...
I never wanted to be fearless...
I only wanted the hurt to blur...
Maybe I'm stronger than I realize,
Maybe these shadows don't decide my life,
Maybe tomorrow is worth the fight...
FINAL CHORUS (BIGGEST)
I'M SCREAMING THROUGH THE SILENCE!
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
I'M TIRED OF FEELING BROKEN,
BUT I WON'T BACK DOWN!
I CARRIED ALL THIS WEIGHT FOR YEARS,
I CARRIED ALL THIS PAIN,
BUT I'M STILL WALKING THROUGH THE FIRE,
AND I'LL RISE AGAIN!
OUTRO
Clean guitar, fading drums
I grew up afraid of losing everyone...
Now I'm learning not to lose myself...
Guitar rings on D minor... fade out.
