Hannah Byers - The Silent Cry

Do you remember how a part of me would change in the summer?
Under the covers, I would cry because my mind would wander
Looking back wow, it foreshadowed everything I would become now
Now that I'm older, you expect me to just brush it off my shoulders
You're having a bad day; just shake it off
Just need more rest; nothing's really wrong
But I can't shake this
No sleep can erase it
There's a weight in my chest that won't go away
A drama queen at her full extent
She's feeling fatigued is all she meant
Why can't you hear me?
You're going to lose me 
If you continue to mute all of my cries
Don't believe me?
That's fine
I don't why I waste my time
Trying to be something that I'm not
When in the end I'm always forgot
You're looking at her while I continue to bleed
You'll drive me to despondency
Don't you dare tell me I didn't try
I have let out the silent cry
It started out as new thoughts and a new urge to please them but
Now I am drowning in my own mind and I fear this place will end me
It's not normal, you know that
Are you afraid that I'll turn out like that?
Your ignorance is making me so sad
You're having a bad day; just shake it off
Just need more rest nothing's really wrong
But I can't shake this
No sleep can erase it
There's a weight in my chest that won't go away
A drama queen at her full extent
She's feeling fatigued is all she meant
Why can't you hear me?
You're going to lose me 
If you continue to mute all of my cries
Don't believe me?
That's fine
I don't why I waste my time
Trying to be something that I'm not
When in the end I'm always forgot
You're looking at her while I continue to bleed
You'll drive me to despondency
Don't you dare tell me I didn't try
I have let out the silent cry
Don't believe me
Why don't you believe me?
I have fallen down
I am bleeding 
All these nights of grieving 
You can't hear a sound
Don't believe me?
That's fine
I don't why I waste my time
Trying to be something that I'm not
When in the end I'm always forgot
You're looking at her while I continue to bleed
You'll drive me to despondency
Don't you dare tell me I didn't try
I have let out the silent cry
Do you remember how a part of me would change in the summer? Yeah
Under the covers, I would cry because my mind would wander
Looking back wow, it foreshadowed everything I would become now
I may be older, but I'm not gonna brush this off my shoulders
