I Know Where You Are

I know where you are!

I know where you are!

I know the darkness in you.

But yet I am useless to save you.  

I know where you are, in the deep, dreaded darkness.

It's crushing you, I can see you drowning in your mind.

But yet I am helpless to save you,

Nobody else can save you.

I've been there before,

I've been there before.

Clinging to the light, consumed by your own thoughts.

I know where you are, and yet nothing can be done.

It kills me to see your pain,

Because this darkness that lives in you,

It lives in me too.

I know how it feels, but yet I am helpless to save you.

Nobody else can save you.

I know how it feels,

I know how it feels.

Lying awake in the dark, staring at the ceiling.

You can't see anything, just darkness around you.

It's the darkness within you, reflected without.

I know how it feels to stare straight at death.

Questioning you, and me, and everyone else.

Asking if anyone would care if you left this earth.

I would care, darling, but we both know nobody else can save you.

I know your soul's pain,

I know your soul's pain.

Walking through hallways full of faces,

Friends, enemies, rivals, the people you love,

The people who stare right through you,

Unable, unaware, unwilling to see.

It feels like you're the only one drowning, and everyone else can breathe.

I know how it feels, but yet nothing can be done.

Nobody else can save you.

It can be done,

It can be done.

It won't be easy, I know it's hard.

And the darkness never really dies, it lives on within you.

But between light and dark, laughter and pain,

You just have to learn which demon you feed.

I know where you are, but there's nothing I can do.

The demon you feed, is only eating you.

Nobody else can save you, darling. 

Nobody else, but you.
