This one's about family.

Reach Me

Father, do you hear me--
Hear my silent cries
As one might hear a thornbird
Sing before it dies

Mother, can you find me?
Find my wand'ring soul?
I'm alone and here I hunger
To be part and be made whole

Sister, can you reach me?
This void is vast and cold
Can you see past my darkness?
Grasp and then take hold?

I know that I'm not perfect
So I hide behind my walls
Please breach through my security
Reach out and hear my calls

I only want your prescence
I only want you near
Mom, I hear you calling
But you're there and not right here

Please, dad, won't you try harder
To understand my straying ways?
Your shouts just push me farther
Till I'll hate you all my days

And sister, I can feel you
Right here just by my side
But the cell is wide and iron bars
Cast shadows to which I hide

Know that I want freedom
From these shackles and from these chains
Know that there's no pleasure
To be gained, and know my pains

It's kinda sad...
