Understanding

You hold the answer deep within your own mind
Consciously you've forgotten it
That's the way the human mind words
Whenver something is too unpleasant, too shameful for us to
entertain we reject it, we erase it from our memory, but the imprint is always there

We wash it all away
We wish it all away
We 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 hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way to who we are

Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence screaming at 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 to be real
We feel alone when 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 light 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

You're not alone honey
Never Never

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't throw it all away
Can't scratch it all away
Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
Move it all away
Move it all away

But the imprint is always there
Nothing is ever really forgotten

Because I'm dying too
because I'm dying too
because I'm dying too
because I'm dying too
because I'm dying too
