Nightlight

If this cell is beginning to serve you well
Feel my face, is it you there or somewhere else?
Cause everyone needs my help
But I'm tired and I need theirs as well

And if every day is an eye for an eye
Well then I won't lose sight
Cause if I never get any closer in
Then they won't know I tried
And the better way's looking up all night
So I don't lose my mind
Cause I see the same light as you
Just not the same signs

Every word is a whisper of someone's hell
Every name is a number to someone else
And everyone counts themselves
Till they break and the words slip out

And if every day is an eye for an eye
Well then I won't lose sight
Cause if I never get any closer in
Then they won't know I tried
And the better way's looking up all night
So I don't lose my mind
Cause I see the same light as you
Just not the same signs
