Can't you see that my skin is white..?

I've been hiding away from the light

It's when I finally step into the sun

that I'll find I'm not the only one

It's in this room of quiet fear

where I hid away, thru silent years

The windows boarded, and doors locked

I stayed alone, until you knocked

When you had called out, I'd feared again

but you insisted that I let you in

I sat before you, still weak and frail

but then I saw that your skin was pale

In this dark place I hid, I wasn't alone

others have also called it their home

But how did you manage to break away...

build up the strength and make it out ok?

When you find out that you're not alone

it can help bring your lost soul home

And although the pain doesn't just go away

it will help you walk out, and into the day
