Can you smell the fire burning

I see fear in your eyes

I know the voice that haunts you

I want to tell you that it lies

 

When dreams all turn to nightmares

and sleep's something you fear

When pain has pushed you far from

all that you hold dear

I'll stand in silence if it's what will get you through

I'll bear the cross if it takes the weight from you

I'll scream with you to scare away the night

I'll bleed for you so you can keep your strength to fight

I'll speak for you when you can't be heard

I'll listen even if you don't say a word

 

When hope is just a whisper

and the drugs just make you numb

When your soul lies naked on the ground

burned up by the sun

 

You're broken by the storm

and washed up in the rain

Your barriers are worn

and all you feel is pain

I built this lighthouse just for you

A beacon in the dark

It's not enough to guide you home

Just enough to make a start
