You Have My Word

When the voices sound Ever more desperate And they call to you In variations on a theme You know all too well I'll be there When they inscribe in you A taste for self loathing In the blink of an eye They provide thousands upon thousands of reasons Why there's just no point, no drive To make it work To give it worth I'll be there On the dark side of the moon Where no one will ever find you You could cry in silence You can hide from the world Protect yourself from harshest judgments Wrought upon your soul Just know this one thing When you're ready to understand Why life feels so empty And the world can't give you what you want Call upon me And I'll be there I may not appear in the flesh Or sound the trumpets on my arrival But I promise you I'll be there to comfort you and I will never leave
