I stumbled across these lyrics again.
Ones I wrote about half a year ago.

They have resurfaced just now, and from them I finally created this song.

=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

How do you save someone who is breaking under the weight they carry inside?

How do you reach a heart that keeps sinking deeper into its own silence?

That builds a façade and hides behind it?

You try to pull them from the spiral that drags them down,
yet your hands slip through the shadows they’ve wrapped around themselves.

For someone so deeply connected to this person, it is agonizing to witness such a decline.

Helplessness can become a far greater wound to the soul than any physical pain ever could ...

Take care of yourselves - and of the ones you love ... - TRJ

[Verse 1]
Something's different,
In the way you move and hesitate.
The tremble hiding in your laughter,
Every move, every word you say.
And if I didn't know you better
I’d swear that everything's truly fine.
You think I never really noticed, 
Your muffled cryin' through the nights.

[Verse 2]
It's been months now,
Since the world took your brother away.
I find you lost behind the window,
But you insist that everything’s okay.
I can feel the weight you try to hide,
It’s carving shadows in your eyes.
You tremble softly in my arms,
When I'm trying to hold you tight.

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you've outgrown it,
And time has softened all your scars.
You keep telling me you're alright,
But you can only fool the stars!

[Chorus]
When I look in those hollow eyes,
That once shone bright like open skies.
Please stop shielding me with lies, 
I see right through your fading disguise.
And if I could lift your pain,
Pull you from that endless rain.
I'd ease the weight and the strain,
Heal the empty shell you're been living in.

[Bridge]
You've lost the road you used to follow,
Slowly sinking deeper in your sorrow,
Still pretending, we can carry on like this.
Your smiles all feel like they are borrowed,
At night your tears sink in your pillow,
I miss the days that were filled with gentle bliss.

[Pre-Chorus]
You still insist that you're through it,
And say you’ve made your peace at last.
You keep repeating you're alright,
But your grief has grown too vast.

[Final Chorus]
When I look in those hollow eyes, (hollow eyes!)
Where all your light once touched the skies.
Please don’t hide behind fragile lies,
I see the truth beneath your breaking disguise. (breaking disguise!)
And if I could lift your pain,
Drag you from that cold and relentless rain.
I’d take the weight, the hurt, the strain,
And reach for you inside the shell you've been living in.

[Outro]
I’m still here…
But I miss the light…
You used to carry in your eyes.
