Lyrics

He’s been silent so long,
It’s so hard to escape
The scars that can’t be seen
There’s nowhere to belong
Days drift on and on
Can’t sleep, he can’t dream

Can’t do anything right,
Can’t do anything
Hiding from this world,
Hiding from this mirror
Just reflecting his pain,
Just reflecting that
Nothing really matters now

Is sunlight right outside the window?
Is there any reason to be?

Sometimes the smallest of things
Can save a life in the end,
Just got a reach out a hand
You are not alone
You’re not alone,
You are not alone

From this weary bell jar
There’s no way to define
Any colours, they’re all grey.
Memories of life seem far,
So haunting, bizarre
It’s another stormy day

Can’t see anything light,
Can’t see anything
Hiding in this room,
Hiding in this mirror.
A faint reflection of life,
Just reflecting
Is it still worth trying for

Is sunlight right outside the window?
Is there any reason to be?

Sometimes the smallest of things
Can save a life in the end,
Just got a reach out a hand
You are not alone
You’re not alone,
You are not alone
