I'm so far down I am beginning to breathe...

I’m afraid I’ve lost the piece of me
I need the most you see
This puzzle is really just about the need
To be somebody

I’m afraid
I’m not all that you see
All along the coast of me
I’m camouflaged, a desert mirage
A nobody

But you came so close and I assumed
You were looking
For the piece of yourself that’s lost
It is the hiding place inside everybody
And though we love to numb the pain
We come to learn that it’s in vain
Pain is our mother
She makes us recognize each other

Sometimes I feel so all alone
Here in this city I call my home
They say, Hey, you’re one of us
Funny, I should feel so anonymous
But I’m drawn to you
And that still small voice is talking too
And that’s the voice that so seldom can get through

You can’t put no bandaid on this cancer
Like a twenty note
For all the things you offer
You need questions
Forget about the answers
Do you really want to die this way?
