We're sitting together, the silence pitch black
We're staring through what one might call cracked glass
The darkness is restless, the light lying low
We stay there quite still with our feelings in tow
We fathom each other, without words we explain
We'll work side by side to take away the pain
But the weight on our chests weighs more than a tonne
The world will keep spinning but morning won't come
So how do we get over this time in our lives
When the others carry on, not a change in their stride
It's like climbing mount Everest, we can't see the top
Our destination's unknown, and we fear we will drop
The numbing sensation takes over our minds
We can't see a thing and the healing takes time
The nightmares don't end and the dreams fade away
We've not slept or eaten or moved at all for days
But there's nothing more to do than wait
You and I, together, trying not to deflate
So together we will stand, together we will stay
We'll be united as one till the very last day.
