The train is passing through the fields,
Leaving a scent of the past behind.
It follows and nothing can shield
From this sorrow, so easy to find.
Let it go and see for yourself,
There's nothing to gain in this delve.

She calls to him, still believing,
That her words can someday be heard.
Clouds part, a look so deceiving,
As the skies cry to be spared.
A fragile bird flies far, to its home,
Where others will listen,
Where she's not alone.

In difference we stand,
Yet share the same mind.
This process of thought,
Belief of the blind.

Lying and crying,
Eyes of denying
See how our tears fly,
How they cannot speak.

Your memory caught
A feeling so bleak
That's lost in the sky
Of your body's end.

Someone's standing.
But where? Where?
Far. Oh, so far away from me.
Time is mending.

They're all begging,
In your care.
Lives. Oh, their lives you never see.
Your word, dreading.

Hear their crying.
Their dead stare.
Eyes, Oh, their eyes, piercing through thee.
You keep lying.

They're not asking.
They prepare.
Scars. Oh, the scars from which they flee.
Thoughts they're grasping.

I look at you,
Surrounding me,
As you stare in amazement.

You look for clues,
Explaining me,
You add another detriment.

He looks at you,
A friend of mine.
It's clear that we're the same.

I look at you
And, in your eyes,
I see the difference staring back.
The difference in our blame.

All I can do is try to make you feel better.
Feel wanted.
You and me,
Together.
But I can't help to see you look away,
Alone,
Without me.
But you don't have to explain.
I know how you feel.
I hope I do.
But it doesn't matter,
Whether I know or not.
My help is always here,
For you.
Just in case you need an ear.
In case you need someone.
I may not be what you want.
I can't achieve your perfection.
But if I can be what you need,
I'll be the light.
I'll listen forever.
For it's all I can do.
Everything I say fades away,
Consumed by eternity.
You acknowledge my voice,
Yet somehow it's left unheard.
But it's no longer my concern.
All I worry about are your words.
For when you share them,
They are no longer your secrets.
They ask me to help.
I ask and do all I can.
I can't be left just a listener.

I've fallen into this hole.
It's getting deeper with every word.
I try to escape,
But I know all my efforts are in vain.
You're not the one pulling me down.
It's all me,
Always will be.
The one who can't look at the bigger picture.
Who didn't realize the distortion on the water.
It seemed so shallow.
Shallow like I am,
When I keep running away.
I left you alone.
But is that all I could do?
Am I nothing?
Nothing,
But a listener?
My actions can't affect anything.
You acknowledge my voice,
Yet somehow it's left unheard.

I hear the cries,
But there's nothing I can do.
I just sit and pray.
I pray for you.
But my prayers
Unanswered.
Must God leave me now?
Must He abandon you?
In this time of need,
We look for the light.
It will lead our way,
That's what I'm told,
But I've never seen the light.
Not until I saw you.
You're the light I wanted,
I needed.
And I want to be the light.
The light that could lead you.
But I'm lost in it all.
There's nothing left for me to do,
But listen from the darkness,
As it consumes all I say.
You acknowledge my voice,
Yet somehow it's left unheard.
