It breaks my heart to see the grief in your eyes
You may mask for the world, but for me you can’t hide
I see the yearning for release from the chains of misery
Wordlessly screaming for someone to notice your injury
I promise I see it; I’m just a prisoner like you
I’m also shouting in silence; I’m turning blue
But I’ll keep clawing at the wall with hopes of it crumbling
I’ll make my way to you eventually, even if it’s stumbling

It breaks my heart to see the grief in your eyes
You may mask for the world, but for me you can’t hide
I see the yearning for release from the chains of misery
Wordlessly screaming for someone to notice your injury
I promise I see it; I’m just a prisoner like you
I’m also shouting in silence; I’m turning blue
But I’ll keep clawing at the wall with hopes of it crumbling
I’ll make my way to you eventually, even if it’s stumbling
