Try to escape

Life’s a road, a ceaseless trip
Caught in whirlwind, losing grip
My heart yearns for silent space
Yet pulled away from my own grace
I hide my worries in the shadows
So they can't see my silent screams

Pushing’ through it every single day
Limits poking’ at my tired bones
I am always giving, giving all I got
And never ask for anything in return
Where’s my time where’s my chance
Where can I find peace on my own

Why (why) don’t they see me too
Why (why) can’t they hear my call
Why (why) do I feel so small
Invisible battles try to survive
Heavy shoulders carrying’ weight
When will I find my own escape

Yet the burden is getting heavier
You see, I feel the need to help
To fight with their battles
While I fight alone in the cold
No one bothers to hear my cries
Have to find my way alone for strength, to silence the night

Fighting through storms alone
Invisible battles in shifting sand
Invisible battles never end
Nobody sees or lends a hand
Echoes of a silent scream
Lost in the endless streams

Closing my eyes
Try to escape within
Have to find the still first
To feel the calm in me
And hold on tight
So I can fight
