Would you give me a hand?

Silence is all I have now
Didn't think you'd stoop this low
Drowning as I reach the shore
I can't swin no more
Emptiness is all I heard
Broken wings on a broken bird
I think of you and your face is blurred
Don't say one word
We sink before we float
We're on the same boat
If you're stuck in the sand
Can you still stand?
If I gave you a hand
Would you promise not to mad?
If I told you, you were all I had
Even if it was bad
Silence is all I have now
Hollowed out hearts don't make a sound
We fall before we stand,
But I know you won't understand
If I tried to rise up from the sand,
Would you give me a hand?
