With Me

All these arrows that I can't see
Petrify me.
Twist inside me.
Ripping through me.

How do you hide from what's a part of you?
The feelings blind you.
The mouths, they chide you.
The scathing moments glide through you.

And just when the dark room inside
Began to devour me whole,
You were there.
You were there.
When all I really needed was just someone to care,
You were there.

The horns, they blare.
The eyes, they stare.
The stampede just skins you bare...

Just turn cold, they say.
Just bury your heart, they say.
Just be as bland and dead as us, they say.
And just when I stood to throw my Heart into the river

You were there.
You were there.
Running with arms to hold me,
Keeping all I ever loved warm within me.
When all I wanted was just someone to Care,
You were there.

You were there with me.
