Did you know
When she went into the darkness
She wasn't running away
And that when everyone thought
She was trying to hide
She was only trying to search
Into the void
It seemed like the light
These shadows will go
Why shouldn't it go?
Won't the cold stop soon?
Did you hear what everyone heard?
"Please go away"
Or did you hear what she really said
"Please stay..."
Why can't I breathe
Why can't I see
Am I walking at all
And she curled up in the corner
Seeming pained at any touch
They said she shied away
The moment you touch her arm
And the tears were a sign of madness
'Cause they would never fall
Why does it hurt
Why is there no one to hold
What has happened
That I'm so alone
And so they said, "Leave her alone"
"She's gone mad.."
Did anyone see her open hand?
So she sits in the corner
I am lost in this world
Have I lost myself, too?
There is nothing to do
Except wait
And they put up the tv
And placed a radio near her
In hopes that she would see and hear...
It's ever so cold
Even with the light
I am blinded
Am I freezing yet?
But no one would believe
That her eyes wandered to people
And what she heard were whispers
That fell out of their mouths
I think I see
Should I close my eyes
She went trying to find a friend
And all she got, all she found
Was the emptiness.
Why will no one hold my hand?
