"You hold the answers deep within your own mind
But concsiously you've forgotten it.
Thats the way the human mind works.
Whenever anything is too unpleasant,
Too shameful for us to entertain
We regect it.
We erase it from our memory.
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 grabs you
The fear that binds you
Releases life from 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

"You're not alone, are you?
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, no

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry 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
Ooh it all away
Ooh it all away

"But the imprint is always there.
Nothing is ever really forgotten"

(Because I'm tired of it too)
(Because I'm tired of it too)
(Because I'm tired of it too)
(Because I'm tired of it too)
(Because I'm tired of it too)
