Have you ever seen a man Whose eyes are gray and dead Like his age is bigger for ten And there is nothing for him ahead Was there ever a girl your age Outside cheerful, but broken instead Her life had reached its final page Waiting for the demons, lying in her bed I know you must have seen someone Who was trying to push through hell Who was so close to being done Seeing no way to make it well What have you done, did you try at all? Did you offer your hand or help that they sought? Was there anything you did to prevent their fall To help them win the battles that they fought? I see you are silent, I know what it means It's not like you care when it's not about you But trust me, you have no idea how it feels When no one's there to help but you need them to

Low
When they come for me, don't make a sound. Don't try to keep them away, don't lead them around. Let them take me, I'll be alright, just hide somewhere and watch from the height. When they come for me, let them be. I know it hurts but I don't want you to see the way my heart hurts and my skin burns and how the world around me starts to turn. When they come for me, just stay away. I know everything looks bad and gray but after the rain comes the sun and the world once again turns into fun. When they come for me, I hope you'll know how much I love you and your glow that can make my hear swell with pride because I know you're always by my side. When they come for me, I won't be sad Because I'm happy for all that I had. The love that we shared kept me from becoming mad so when they come for me, it won't be that bad.
