Low
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
A song inspired by many stories I've read about people who had no one to help them when they needed them to.
