lyrics

When you get this message
I'll be home with you
I'm closer than you know
When you get this message
I'll be one with you
I'm closer than you show

If you look around you, you will
See I found you in the throes of what you know as your despair
Let me surround you in a sea of sound
To compliment your demise with my repair

I'll be right here
When you discover that you need my love
I'll be right here
When you recover from your thirst for blood
I'll be right here
When you can see that I was never gone
I'll never leave you all alone

When you get this message
I'll be home with you
I'm closer than you know
When you get this message
I'll be one with you
I'm closer than you show

It's never-ending this soul-suspending
Confidence at the core of empty eyes
You don't have to play it
You don't have to say it anymore
Close the door and say goodbye

I'll be right here
When you discover that you need my love
I'll be right here
When you remember where you started from
I'll be right here
When you can see that I was never gone
I'll never leave you all alone

When you get this message
I'll be home with you
I'm closer than you know
When you get this message
I'll be one with you
I'm closer than you show
