Is There Anybody Here?

The Dear Hunter

I lay my body down

To rest my weary head

I think I left Someone there;

I left myself for dead

Is there anybody here who can tell me where I am

Or at least where I have been?

Because I fear I'm lost

And I cannot be found

Again

I left my soul exposed

To frail hands who hold

My fate up in the air

And through their fingers fall

The meaning of it all

Down to the floor it goes

So is there anybody here who can tell me where I am

Waking in the afternoon

A captive in a passive tomb

Moments turn to long Decembers

Stoking fires from dying embers

I try To move a limb

But there's a disconnect within

A devil in the alchemy

A phantom staring back at me,

It's you

So is there anybody here, who can tell me where I am

Or at Least where I have been?

Because I fear I'm lost

And I cannot be found again

Just waking in the afternoon

A captive in a passive tomb

Moments turn to long Decembers

Stoking fires from dying embers

I try to move a limb but there's a disconnect within

A devil in the alchemy

A phantom staring back at me

A pain I simply can't express

From troubles I have long repressed...

...and then, there's you
