A Place Where You Can'T Go

Hidden beneath the breath of time
Are things that remain unseen
It's a place neither here nor there
For it's simply in between

Hollow stares, with eyes of pain
Is the evidence that they can see
A place, without understanding
And it will not set us free

It captures all our hopes and dreams
It's like they don't exist
Who we were and who we are
Has simply been dismissed

Our loved ones left alone to ponder
About a place they cannot go
They try to help us mend our wounds
But the scars just will not show

Depression is a such lonely place
It hides inside our mind
It steals the joy that we once knew
Where peace is hard to find

It swallows up our tomorrows
As it leaves an empty soul
We're left alone to suffer
In a place where you can't go
