Are You Still There

Are you still there
Somewhere
Are you still there
Nowhere

When my eyes open
Not of their own accord
Oh so reluctant
To the chiming of the clock
Are you still there
Somewhere
Are you still there
Nowhere

I’d swear you were real
You’d been solid to touch
If only dreams could kill
I’d be in your clutches
But my eyes open
It is unintentional
Straight down to hell from your heaven
I am inconsolable
Are you still there
Somewhere
Are you still there
Nowhere

With you I’m always happy
Without you I’m lost
I won’t struggle when you claim me
I swear I’ll lose myself at any cost
Still my eyes open
They just won’t stay closed
My promise is not forgotten
But you are like a ghost
Are you still there
Somewhere
Are you still there
Nowhere

Maybe one day you’d appear
Finally in my waking life
And you won’t disappear
In the blink of an eye
So when my eyes open
I won’t be in tears
I won’t have been dreamin’
Won’t be waking to my darkest fears
Wondering
Wondering
Are you still there
Somewhere
Are you still there
Nowhere

Will you be there
Somewhere
Will you be here
