[Verse 1] I've dug up miles and miles of sand Searching for something I can't see And I've just got bruised and battered hands And a brand new void inside of me Complete with walls I did create From all the earth that I've displaced A mess that I have made from what I've just let pile and pile up I have not been abandoned, no I have not been Deserted and I have not been forgotten [Chorus] I need you I need you here I need you now I need security somehow I need you Like you would not believe You're the only thing I want Cause you're everything I need [Verse 2] Explore the cave that is my chest A torch reveals there's nothing left Your whispers echo off the walls And you can hear my distant calls The voice of who I used to be Screaming out "someone, someone please" Please shine a light into the black Wade through the depths and bring me back I have not been abandoned, no I have not been Deserted and I have not been forgotten [Chorus] When my hopes seem to dangle Somewhere just beyond my reach You say you've heard my prayers And read my words there on the beach [Chorus]
