I'm Not There

lyrics

LYRICS:

I'm not there.
I'm still where
I left me.

I'm back there.
I'm back where
I felt pain.

That pain suffocates.
That pain complicates
Everything.

And I can't let go.
And I can't say no
To anything.

So aware
of despair.
I'm blinded.

Unaware
of self-care.
Deafened.

I'm in here
With the fear.
Wanting to reach out.

But, I'm afraid
of what I'll trade,
if I reach out.

Will I give you my illness,
Infect you with stillness?
And life will pass you by

I get left behind
cos I fall behind.
Life passes me by.

I'm still there.
I'm still where
I felt pain.

Don't stay there.
Don't come here.
You will feel my pain.
