00:08Silent cries from men in the night
00:11We put a lid on emotions and bottle it inside
00:17I'm responsive again tonight, but why?
00:21You don't wanna hear me say that I'm not fine, you want me to be alright
00:28But I stay quiet, cause if I said I was, that would be a lie
00:31Yo, as men we tend to bury emotion
00:34There's a stigma around men's mental health rather than being honest and open
00:38In fear of being a burden, we tend to leave our issues unspoken
00:41No amount about the problem could ease the pain we feel from the minute we've woken
00:45We're raised to show strength and character, but our unrevealities leave us frightened
00:50We're supposed to protect and show providence
00:53Put societal pressures to be self-reliant
00:56Make up anxieties and depression heightened
00:58Alcohol and drugs become a coping mechanism
01:01To the point they can't function, it begins
01:03Oxidations isn't in them
01:05It's like as a man, seeking for help is forbidden
01:07Even if you did, they probably didn't
01:09That's why there's so many
01:12Silent cries from men in the night
01:15We put a lid on emotions and bottle it inside
01:21I'm responsive again tonight, for why
01:25You don't wanna hear me say that I'm not fine
01:28You want me to be alright
01:32But I stay quiet, cause if I said I was, that would be a lie
01:37I don't wanna lie, but I'm tired of pretending that I'm fine
01:42With a tear in my eye, guess I'll cut my ties and give no reply
01:46Listen, how dare you tell me life's what you make it
01:49And be positive and optimistic, that's just not in my characteristics
01:51Say I came out the room, I was at a disadvantage, twisted and fucking autistic
01:55I don't understand a more simple piece of business
01:57Learning difficulties, vocal, all my issues in schooling
02:00But they fucking dismissed it
02:01I struggle with what you think is easy and simplistic
02:04Bro, come out your comfort zone, now fuck that, I'd rather not risk it
02:07Only thing I was ever gifted with was a lyric
02:09I struggle with the ways of the world and everything in it
02:11But I'm man enough to admit it
02:13But in terms of mental health it's literally diminished
02:15I'm about to cut the world off and be done with it
02:17I'm feeling like my life is nearing the finish
02:19As men we're told to speak up and speak out
02:22I've just done it now, still no one's helping with it
02:24I guess I'm going back to the sound of
02:26Silent cries from men in the night
02:30We put a lid on emotions and bottle it inside
02:36I'm responsive again tonight, but why?
02:40You don't want to hear me say that I'm not fine
02:42You want me to be alright
02:46But I stay quiet, cos if I said I was, that would be a lie
02:51I don't want to lie, but I'm tired of pretending that I'm fine
02:57With a tear in my eye, guess I'll cut my ties and give no reply
03:00Yo, I know that I'm not the only one struggling
03:03Just look at the suicide rate
03:05Three quarters of suicides is by young men
03:08When you're feeling lonely
03:10Remember that you're not alone really
03:11Statistically, that's globally
03:13If you think you're managing life woefully
03:16There's a whole load of men totally
03:18In the same situation as you and I
03:20Walking through life hopelessly
03:22Notably, you and I right now feel like nobodies
03:25Yeah, it's time as men we come together and we broke the cycle
03:29We're worth more than blowing our brains out with a rifle
03:32Life should be delightful
03:33It's time you take back what's yours rightfully
03:35And strive to be a victim no longer and somebody you'd like to be
03:40No more, silent cries from men in the night
03:45We put a lid on emotions and bottle it inside
03:50I'm responsive again tonight for why
03:55You don't wanna hear me say that I'm not fine
03:57You want me to be alright
04:01But I stay quiet
04:02Cause if I said I was, that would be a lie
04:06I don't wanna lie
04:07But I'm tired of pretending that I'm fine
04:11With a tear in my eye, guess I'll cut my ties and give no reply
04:15No reply
