An achingly lyrical ballad woven by the American nu-metal band Korn.
It stands apart from their usual aggressive sound, highlighting vocalist Jonathan Davis’s delicate, clean voice as it quietly portrays the loneliness and anguish sinking to the depths of the heart.

When you feel crushed by inescapable loneliness and listen to this song, you may sense it simply staying beside your pain.
It’s a tear-inducing track that gently loosens a taut heart.
