I know what it's like to be you,
Why you lock yourself away within your room
Hiding from the light
And embracing your artificial night
With the curtains drawn
And any hope gone
These shadowed faces,
These shadowed fears
I, too,
Was once like you
Everything was lost,
And everything was nothing
And nothing was all I had
Or so I thought,
I was so depressed
I didn't wanna get up,
Let alone get dressed
And sit at the table,
Fake smiles on my face
Laugh like I was happy,
Laugh like I was good
I talk too much
And talk too little
About what doesn't matter
And ignored those
Shadowed faces, my shadowed fears
I know why you hide
You've given up
Don't do that, sister
I'm here for you
