It's half past five I'm dialing out
The silent screams I'm full of doubt
Told em I'm falling barely spoke
Choking on tears my words just broke
They gave me answers that didn't fit
Like patching fire with candle wicks
Go outside they said just smile
I've been drowning here a long long while
I'm not weak I'm just worn thin
Tired of hiding the pain within
All I asked for was a hand
Not a list I didn't understand
I'm breaking down in the dark alone
Crying out into a dead end phone
Where's the love I've given out for years
All that's coming back are tears
But just when I was close to gone
A voice from far away came on
And love like fire warmed my bones
My niece she called me home
Found my old goodbye notes and pen
Thought I'd write the end again
No one left who'd even care
I begged the walls but they just stared
So much lost I can't reclaim
My health my home my last name
A body wrecked a soul stripped bare
Still no one saw me standing there
I'm not selfish I just need someone to hear
Not just to read what would help
Don't make me guess I'm here because I'm past the mess
I'm breaking down in the dark alone
Crying out into a dead end phone
Where's the love I've given out for years
All that's coming back are tears
But just when I was close to gone
A voice from far away came on
And love like fire warmed my bones
My niece she called me home
A girl of fourteen held the line
More grace than all the helplines combined
She said my name with tears so wide
That pain turned into something bright inside
She couldn't fix it but she tried
And that that's what kept me alive
I rose again from the ashes deep
Still got the scars still lose sleep
But I've got one reason now to stay
One soft light that guides my way
And every time I lose my ground
I hear her voice that sacred sound
In a world so cold I'm not alone
That love it called me home
She called me home
She called me home
