Is There Anybody Here - The Dear Hunter

I lay my body down

To rest my weary head

I think I left someone there

I left myself for dead

So is there anybody here

Who can tell me where I am

Or at least where I have been?

Because I fear I’m lost, and I cannot be found again

I left my soul exposed to frail hands who hold

My fate up in the air

And through their fingers fall the meaning of it all

Down to the floor it goes

So is there anybody here

Who can tell me where I am?

Waking in the afternoon, a captive in a passive tomb

Moments turn to long Decembers, stoking fires from dying embers

I try to move a limb, but there’s a disconnect within

A devil in the alchemy, a phantom staring back at me

It’s you

So is there anybody here

Who can tell me where I am

Or at least where I have been?

Because I fear I’m lost, and I cannot be found again

Just waking in the afternoon, a captive in a passive tomb

Moments turn to long Decembers, stoking fires from dying embers

I try to move a limb but there’s a disconnect within

A devil in the alchemy, a phantom staring back at me

A pain I simply can’t express, from troubles I have long repressed

And then there’s you…
