I wrote this song after a series of conversations with a friend who was going through a tough time. The "I" in the song is depression. Its about a person who is desperately holding on to their depression because that's what makes them feel comfortable.
lyrics
No one knows, that I am here
No one knows that you draw so near
We are free holding in our arms
In your mind. In your mind you dream
Hid from view all in your eyes.
Hold close deep in your soul
all the pain that you hold so dear
shields you from all you fear
in your mind. in your mind you dream
Dreaming of times from before.
Waking to find that I'm still here.
drawn so that no one is near.
keeping the face of a lie
In your mind. In your mind you dream
No one knows that I am here.
No one knows that you draw so near.
We are free holding in our arms
In your mind. In your mind you dream
