Zylvow - Crossroads of Silence Lyrics

[Intro]
Cold nights in Mariehamn, yeah
Demons dancing in my head again
Looking for answers at the bottom of these bottles, man
But they don't speak, nah

[Verse 1]
Late night call got me running through these empty streets
Heart racing fast, praying that you still breathe
Found you there, lying on your bathroom floor
Pills scattered round, couldn't take this shit no more
Youth center memories flash before my eyes
Where we used to laugh, now everything's disguise
Toxic masculinity, yeah that's what they preach
"Man up, shut up," till we're too numb to speak

[Chorus]
Silent screams in the northern lights
Everyone's partying, but something ain't right
Behind these club walls, we're all just broken
Fighting battles that remain unspoken
(Damn, we're all just broken)

[Verse 2]
White walls of the hospital burn my eyes
Beeping machines replace your goodbye
Sitting in silence, guilt eating me alive
Should've seen the signs, should've made you thrive
Every weekend, same old masquerade
Drowning sorrows, pretending we got it made
But underneath these fake smiles and designer fits
We're all just scared kids dealing with this shit

[Bridge]
Streets of Torggatan know our pain
Walking wounded in the midnight rain
F*ck these expectations, f*ck this game
Of who can hide their scars, who can maintain

[Outro]
I see you brother, and I feel your pain
This ain't the end, we'll rise again
Through these Nordic nights, we'll find our way
Together we'll live to see another day
