Leviathan - Silent Struggles

We all carry burdens that no one else can see. This song is dedicated to the silent strugglers—the ones who have felt the crushing weight of being forgotten or left behind. It’s about the long nights, the hidden habits we use to cope, and the quiet battle to keep functioning for the ones we love. Lyrics: [Intro] [Verse 1] The silence in these rooms used to be too loud Built a house on broken glass, a lonely, shifting cloud Every goodbye was an anchor, pulling me down deep Until I lost the promises I meant for me to keep I counted every shadow dancing on the wall at night Trading all my hope just to make it through the light [Verse 2] You get used to the darkness, you get used to the fall Whisper "I can't do this," then you stand up after all But the scars are running deep and the heart is made of lead I thought there’s nothing left for me, just echoes in my head A ghost of yesterday that’s slowly fading out of view The world felt like a stranger, and my soul felt ancient too [Pre-Chorus] I carry all these burdens, and the edges cut like knives A drink to dull the noise that’s haunting all our lives No one sees the shadow, I just function, I just play Because I want to be your rock, to keep the ghosts away It’s not the path I should be on, I know that it is wrong But it calms the rising tide when the weeping gets too strong [Chorus] But then I hear your laughter in the hall And the darkness starts to crumble, starts to fall I am not alone anymore, I’m standing right here A part of something bigger, a part of us, my dear I’ve seen the very end, but I chose to stay the line To start a brand new chapter, to make your future mine [Verse 3] There are days the weight is pressing, heavy on my chest Fighting ghosts and fighting demons, put me to the test But then a hand reaches for me, small and soft and warm And I find a piece of heaven right here in your arms The "forgotten" of the past has lost its heavy bite 'Cause I'm looking in the mirror and I'm finally seeing light [Bridge] No one wants to be forsaken, no one wants to walk alone I was ready to surrender, to the dark and the unknown But the pain of every yesterday is the ground I stand on now I don't regret the journey, I made it through somehow! [Guitar & Violin Solo] [Chorus] 'Cause I hear your laughter in the hall And the darkness starts to crumble, starts to fall I am not alone anymore, I’m standing right here A part of something bigger, a part of us, my dear I’ve seen the very end, but I chose to stay the line To start a brand new chapter, to make your future mine [Outro] I’m opening the book... The first page is bright... I chose to stay. [End] If there´re wishes for Future Songs, Just let me know. Die Rechte am Text und den Bildern liegen bei den jeweiligen Urhebern und Verlagen.
