A real song...

UNDERSTANDING

(by EVANESCENCE)

[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 or too shameful for us to entertain,
We reject 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 grips you, the fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual shame, we hide our eyes [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
For I've tried to find the truth, my final time


[We're supposed to try to be real
And when you feel alone, you're not together
And that's real]


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


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, 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
Ohh, it all away
Ohh, it all away


[But the imprint is always there
Nothing is ever really forgotten]


Because I'm dying too...
I'm dying too...
I'm dying too...
