I see you my brother, my sister in pain
your eyes diverted from the croud
hiding your face from the bane
I see the fear in your eyes, from pain of long ago
see your avoidance of all that is real
trying to wash it way, or soften its blow
I see your cries for help, the struggle of your soul
I see it in the way you walk
staying far from the fold
I see the haunting of your mind, the darkness that you fight
the circle under your eyes
from not sleeping at night
The needle marks on your arms, trying to **** the demons inside
the way you hang your head in shame
not looking the world in the eye
I see you my brother, my sister it's true
for there once was a time
I was just like you.

I see the fear in your eyes, from pain of long ago
see your avoidance of all that is real

I see your cries for help, the struggle of your soul
I see it in the way you walk
staying far from the fold
I see the haunting of your mind, the darkness that you fight
the circle under your eyes
from not sleeping at night
The needle marks on your arms, trying to **** the demons inside
the way you hang your head in shame
not looking the world in the eye
I see you my brother, my sister it's true
for there once was a time
