A Plea to the Dying

Lyrics

So that's it then
 All there is
 You've moved on without me
 You do not suffer as I do
 It is so clear
 What can I do and
 Yet I will reach you somehow
 With my mind
 All I have
 I will invade your dreams
 I will not ask if it is right
 I do not care
 You must see me
 Time is running out
 No, I cannot touch you
 But I will reach
 Beyond dimension
 Beyond realm
 Beyond memory
 To touch you
 In some small way
 And tell you
 Beg you
 To stop
 Stop
 And think
 What you are doing
 Is it what you want
 Is it what you think you are supposed to want
 Is it the only comfort you have ever known
 And you feel safe
 Well, you are right to want this
 And I am wrong to want to stop you
 But you need not make this move
 What
 Who says you must
 If you love
 If she loves
 Why ask the world to take notice
 Just let it be
 And go on loving out of choice
 Not duty
 Am I so
 Blind
 What do I not see
 When I look at her
 What you do
 Why do you not know that
 Everything you ever wished for
 Everything you were afraid to say
 Out loud
 Everything you hate
 And desire
 And will never understand
 Lies in one who would never be brave enough
 To tell you
 Can you but open your eyes
 For one single shining
 Moment
 And see yourself in the light that I do
 Can you not see that
 You are the answer to all my fears
 I could feel safe with you and
 Yes, I have my daggers and scars
 And everything that would keep you back
 But if you make this move
 You close a door you can never reopen
 And I will not pass through it anymore
 And I can tell you that a life lived in waiting for what never comes
 Is far better than a life content in the knowledge
 Of what is certain never to be
 Can you not wait
 Can you not be brave
 And see beyond this moment
 Beyond this sense of comfort
 You feel see your life
 Open before you
 Trusting in things to come
 Believing they will be worth the wait and
 Thrilling in the thought that
 You have no idea what the next dream will bring you
 Now I am here
 With you
 See my eyes as you have so many times before
 See the way
 I look at you
 See what you always felt
 But never dared to show
 Believe in your power
 To get the thing you dream of
 Even when it is the very thing you fear
 The thing
 No other man can hope to attain
 Look into your heart and see written there
 The name
 Of her you love
 Who is it that fascinates you
 Who is it that knows you better than you yourself
 Who is it that will be waiting
 When it all ends
 At the end of the path
 With a smirk
 And a sarcastic comment
 And a kiss on the neck
 Don't leave me
