Nobody Knows by Chris Helios

This track was written by myself and my best friend, Ruth Anne Pollard who has a soundcloud channel of her own, https://soundcloud.com/ruth-anne-1. We wrote this song as a dedication to ourselves and to many others out there who have put much of our own feelings aside in order to be there for the ones around us who are less empathetic and less likely to reciprocate. These unrecognized feelings that we struggle to speak about can start to build up within us and come to the surface, causing those around us to question who we are because we have essentially been forced to wear a mask for so long. Musically this song was inspired by Chariots of Fire by Vangelis, particularly in the verses Nobody knows the things we do For the ones we love Nobody knows Nobody cares But we keep on trying not to lose hope Nobody knows When you're dying to release What no one will let you speak And you choose words carefully Nobody knows Nobody knows my defenses died, falling from me Now all I need is you to want me to be fine Nobody knows how I've lived this lie, buried beneath Knowing the truth can be worse sometimes Nobody hears, nobody listens When you're trying to tell them who you are They pay you no mind When you try to be open And It's clear all the time You never receive anything you provide When you're dying to release What no one will let you speak And you choose words carefully Nobody knows Nobody knows my defenses died, falling from me Now all I need is you to want me to be fine Nobody knows how I've lived this lie, buried beneath Knowing the truth can be worse sometimes Nobody knows my defenses died, falling from me Now all I need is you to want me to be fine Nobody knows how I've lived this lie, buried beneath Knowing the truth can be worse sometimes
