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 for who we are
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 light that flows inside of you Burns inside of me
Cast me not away Say you'll be with me For I know I cannot bear it all alone
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 cry it all away Can't hope it all away
