Verse 1:
I walk into the room, the whispers follow me,
My heart’s racing fast, can’t breathe, can’t be free.
I see the friendly faces, but it feels so far,
I smile and wave, but I hide who you are.
Pre-Chorus:
Every word feels heavy, like I’m lost in a crowd,
Searching for a reason to stand out and be proud.
But the silence is deafening, it clouds my mind,
I wish I could be the one you’d find.
Chorus:
These invisible walls, they keep me confined,
Shattering dreams, leaving pieces behind.
I reach out for help, but it falls to the ground,
Oh, I wish I could find my way out of this sound.
Verse 2:
The laughter rings like a bell, but it feels so hollow,
I want to join in, but my fears always follow.
I look in the mirror, can’t recognize my face,
Just a ghost in the corner, lost in this space.
Pre-Chorus:
Every glance feels like judgment, an echo of doubt,
I’m screaming inside, but I can’t figure it out.
While everyone dances, I’m glued to the floor,
Can’t take my eyes off the exit door.
Chorus:
These invisible walls, they keep me confined,
Shattering dreams, leaving pieces behind.
I reach out for help, but it falls to the ground,
Oh, I wish I could find my way out of this sound.
Bridge:
If I could just breathe, if I could just speak,
Maybe I’d find all the strength that I seek.
But fear is a thief, it steals all my light,
And I’m fading away into the night.
Chorus:
These invisible walls, they keep me confined,
Shattering dreams, leaving pieces behind.
I reach out for help, but it falls to the ground,
Oh, I wish I could find my way out of this sound.
Outro:
So here in the corner, I’ll patiently wait,
Hoping tomorrow will offer a break.
Maybe one day I’ll break through the walls,
And find the courage to rise when I fall.

It’s a song about feeling social anxiety at a young age. I want it to be very relatable and sad. Pleas don’t make it say shadow in the song
