Understanding You hold the answer 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 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 can't, can't 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 Oh get it all away Oh get 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
