How Far Gone

Dark, in the living room, on the couch, where I sleep
Sitting, blanket around me, thoughts, so bleak
Crying out loud, for the spirits of loved ones gone
To please, please help me bring you home, where you belong

The tears flow, feeling fresh coolness down my cheeks
These hazel eyes, never dry up, always springing leaks
They're closed, as I reach out, and face, towards the sky
And name the ones I've lost, and explain to them, why

Do they hear me?  Do they respond?  Will they give me a hand?
Are they real?  I don't claim to see them, or even understand
Desperate times, call for desperate pleas, I want to believe in their strength
From me to you, theres no distance, they don't worry about length

Heal her mind, I beg, I believe she has lost, her way
Help her see, what is real, help her find me today
I open my eyes, to empty silence, still in a darkened room
But I feel, the spirits heard me, even in though emptiness, still looms
