Empty Room

Too many faces, but I feel alone and this empty room is my home

Too many faces, but I feel alone

Voices loud, but I hear none

Sitting in a room full of noise

Still feels like silence is my choice

Laughing outside, but it's fake

Smiling just for the world's sake

I keep my pain behind the door

Where nobody can ask for more

I pray, I cry, I sleep, I try

But the weight never says goodbye

This room is full, but I feel empty

Shadows dancing like they tempt me

I reach out, but no one near

Only my heartbeat that I hear

Every day's a quiet war

Trying not to break some more

Messages I never send

Fighting thoughts I can't defend

I keep my truth behind the wall

Smiling like I've got it all

I pray, I cry, I sleep, I try

But sometimes I don't know why

This room is full, but I feel empty

Shadows dancing like they tempt me

I reach out, but no one near

Only my heartbeat that I hear

Even my shadow feels far

Can't remember who I am

Tell me say I go dey alright

But this pain still dey hold me tight

Too many faces, but I feel alone

And this empty room is my home
