When The World Went Quiet

The walls were closin' in so fast
A moment that I prayed would pass
My mental state began to crash
Just burnin' like a sudden flash
I needed someone just a voice
To say I had a single choice
Beyond the darkness just rejoice
But all I heard was empty noise

I picked the phone up held it tight
My thumb was shakin' in the light
I called the names with all my might
Just lookin' for a guiding light

I was screamin' at the top of my lungs
But my words were swallowed up by the hum
I was reachin' out for anyone
But the world went quiet and my war was done by the pain
Yeah the silence it deafened my soul
Lost control lost my role
Just a shell left out in the cold
When the world went quiet and stories went untold

The read receipts they kept appearin'
The empty promises I'm hearin'
No messages no friend was cheerin'
Just all the doubt that I was fearin'
I saw the plans I saw the trips
I saw the smiles on happy lips
While my own hope began to slip
A lonely and a final dip

They told me "always here for you"
Those pretty words they weren't the truth
They vanished with the morning dew
And left me broken black and blue

I was screamin' at the top of my lungs
But my words were swallowed up by the hum
I was reachin' out for anyone
But the world went quiet and my war was done by the pain
Yeah the silence it deafened my soul
Lost control lost my role
Just a shell left out in the cold
When the world went quiet and stories went untold

I fought that battle on my own
I bled and healed and slowly grown
And in that quiet I was shown
The only strength I've ever known was mine

Everyone says "I'm here for you" until you actually need them
And then the world just goes quiet
And you learn you learn who you really are
When no one else is listening
