understanding by evanescence1
"You 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, to shameful for us
to entertain, we reject it.
We erase it from our memories.
But the imprint is always there."2
(Can't wash it all away)
(Can't Wish it all away)
(Can't hope it all away)
(Can't cry it all away)3
The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual4
Shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth
That finds a way from who we are
Please don't be afraid5
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts6
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."7
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away8
Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The life that flows inside of you9
Burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me10
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
Cast me not away11
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot
Bear it all alone
"You're not alone, honey."
"Never... Never."12
Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away, No13
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away14
(Can't fight it all away)
(Can't hope it all away)
Can't scream it all away
Ooh, it all away
Ooh, it all away15
"But the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten."
"God, please don't hate me"
"Because I'll die if you do."
"Because I'll die if you do."
"Because I'll die if you do."
"Because I'll die if you do.16
last song i'm wasting on you.

Sparkling grey,
They're my own veins.
Any more than a whisper,
Any sudden movement of my heart.
And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away18
Just get through this day19
Give up your way, you could be anything,
Give up my way, and lose myself, not today
That's too much guilt to pay20
Sickened in the sun
You dare tell me you love me
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die
Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way21
You're just so pretty in your pain22
Give up my way, and I could be anything
I'll make my own way
Without your senseless hate... hate... hate... hate.23
So run, run, run
And hate me, if it feels good.
I can't hear your screams anymore24
You lied to me
But I'm older now
And I'm not buying baby25
Demanding my response
Don't bother breaking the door down
I found my way out26
And you'll never hurt me again.27
