Okay okay, I know it sucks and it doesn't rhyme at all, but I kinda like...i dunno. Anyways this is supposed to be Remus to Sirius in PoA, before he knows he's innocent.





YOU'RE HERE, BUT THEN YOU'RE NOT



I thought you understood the rules of the game

You sit here clueless, trying to get this all figured out

You can never take the simplest explanation, for the way things turn out

You're here, but then you're not

My eyes are burning

My lips sting, from a little taste of your hypocrisy

Where are you now, I need you somehow

I lost all my heroes, gambling's never paid off

I think I can see the end of the tunnel

A golden light, shines on my path

You're here, but then you're not

I thought you cared, it was my mistake

You were never there, just a shadow of your smile

I need you now, can you help me somehow

You're here, but then you're not

I thought I saw the truth, not just another lie

My world spins, but I stand my ground

Your eyes, tinged with sadness

You ignite the fire, inside my soul

Will you see me to higher ground?

The burden is lifted, but the hole is still there

Just another lie, hidden behind a smile

The pain controls the emotions I thought I had

Am I just a machine, a mindless criminal?

Is my life a game, why don't you psychoanalyze me

After all, that is what you seem to be so good at

Give me a diagnosis.Will it save my soul?

I'm too far gone, I'm a lost cause

I'm the kind of person you always warned me about

I told you not to get to close.too late

You're here, but then you're not.

I thought I warned you, stay away

I don't want your help, your lies got the better of you

Can you see me now?

I'm not the same, somehow I changed

You were wrong again

What do you think about that?

I'm lost again, this road goes on

Will it ever end? Or will I be gone?

I saw through his mask

I saw the real him

The one he tries to hide, like I once did

His eyes, like mine, his lips sublime

I see the answers, and the truth is told

He doesn't see the things I behold

He was fed the lies, I fought against

His past forgotten, in the crazy mix

Can I say, the things in my head

I told him once, must I say it again?

You're here, but then you're not.

I see his eyes, tinged with sadness

He reminds me of someone I once knew

I rack my brain, for any answers

The truth, held just beyond my reach

I understand, will you take my hand?

I need you now, more than ever

You're here but then you're not
