Letras: Whisper EP And Sound Asleep EP

*Whisper Ep / Sound Asleep Ep (1999)*

1. Give Unto Me

I’ve been watching you from a distance
But distance sees through your disguise
All I want from you is your hurting
I want to heal you
I want to save you from the dark

Give unto me your trouble
I’ll endure you suffering
Place onto me your hurting
I’ll drink your deadly poison

Why should I care if they, hurt you
Some how it matters more to me
Than if I were hurting myself

Save you
I’ll save you

Give unto me your trouble
I’ll endure your suffering
Place onto me your hurting
I’ll drink your deadly poison

(Piano Solo)

Give unto me your trouble
I’ll endure your suffering
Place onto me your hurting
I’ll drink your deadly poison

2. Whisper

Death in, Death in it's most hideous form

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself

This truth drives me
Into madness

I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me
Shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet my end

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)

3. Understanding

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 to who we are

Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence screaming at our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time

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
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

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away

4. Forgive Me

Can you forgive me again?
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you

I heard the words come out
I felt like I would die
It hurt so much to hurt you

Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken

I'd give anything now
to hear those words from you

Each time I say something I regret I cry "I don't want to lose you."
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah.

'Cause you were made for me
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me

I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive

So stay with me
You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry.

And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you

5. Understanding

"You hold the answer deep within your own mind.
Consciously you've forgotten it.
That's the way the human mind words.
Whenever something is too unpleasant,
too shameful for us to entertain we reject it,
we erase it from our memory,
but the imprint is always there. "

We wash it all away,
we wish it all away,
we 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 to who we are

Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
screaming at 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 to be real.
We feel alone when 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 light 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
? it all away
? it all away

"But the imprint is always there,
nothing is ever really forgotten"

"Because I'm dying too"
"Because I'm dying too"
"Because I'm dying too"
"Because I'm dying too"
"Because I'm dying too"
