Understanding (Sound Asleep)
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

Too shameful for us to entertain, we reject it

We erase it from our memories

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 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, 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, 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'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

Because I'll die if you do
