about

A duet for Emma Pole and Stephen Black. There is a strange sort of intimacy between two survivors of the same abuse.

lyrics

It’s been so long since I could close my eyes
It’s been so long since I could sleep
It’s been so long since I could recognize
The face in the mirror staring back at me

And you’re the only one who knows
Who can see beyond this rose at my mouth
The only one who feels the same
The only reason I still believe I’m sane

It’s been so long since I did not ache everywhere
It’s been so long since I could feel
I have forgotten why I used to care
I cannot tell the dream from what is real

And you’re the only one who knows
Who lives in a hell you never chose
The only one who shares the dance
The only reason why I still might have a chance

You’re the only one
You’re the only one
Who knows

It’s been so long since we have spoken, my dear friend
But this reunion only leaves me heartbroken
Another poor soul joins our company
Doomed to rot here for eternity

Still you’re the only one who knows
The secret world we never can disclose
But when the puppeteer grows tired
What will become of the toys he once desired?

You’re the only one
You’re the only one
Who knows
