This affliction that I feel
This pain is so unreal
In front of you I kneel
My skin begins to peel

With every breath I steal
Another death I reel
From behind a broken shield
The only voice I yield

A silent understanding
My love to you I'm handing
It's my heart your eyes are branding
I brace for heavy landing

Breaths are taken
Faith is shaken
Words mistaken
Sight forsaken

Silent screaming
Ears are bleeding
Tears are streaming
Heart stopped beating

Soul beneath you
Hands stretched skyward
I beseech you
Please hear my word

Now
I'm calling out again
Reaching for a friend
Beginnings have an end
Calling out again

Time slowly spent
Another twist and bend
Calling out again
Calling out again

Lift me from this hell
Body is a shell
Standing where you fell
So much I could tell

Wish that you could know
Heart became a stone
Wish that I could show
Standing here alone

From your broken voice
Just another word
Do you have a choice
Speak and you are heard

Show me that you care
Lay my mind to rest
Lonely, naked, bare
Raise my fallen crest

Calling out again
Calling out again
Reaching for a friend
Calling out again
