UnderstandingYou hold the answers deep within your own mind. Consciously, you've forgotten it. That's the way the human mind works. Whenever something is too unpleasant, too shameful for us to entertain, We reject it. We erase it from our memories. But the imprint is always there. Can't wash it all away Can't wish it all away Can't hope it all away Can't cry it all away. The pain that grips you, The fear that binds you, Releases life in me. In our mutual shame we idolize To blind them from the truth That finds a way from who we are. Please don't be afraid. When the darkness fades away, The dawn will break the silence, Screaming in our hearts. My love for you still grows. This I do for you. Before I try to fight the truth my final time. We're supposed to try and be real. And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real. Can't wash it all away Can't wish it all away Can't cry it all away Can't scratch it all away. Lying beside you, Listening to you breathe, The life that flows inside of you Burns inside of me. Hold and speak to me of love without a sound. Tell me you will live through this, And I will die for you. Cast me not away. Say you'll be with me. For I know I cannot bear it all alone. Can't fight it all away Can't hope it all away Can't scream it all away It just won't fade away. God, please don't hate me. Because I'll die if you do. |
