I Will Stay

What has gotten into you?
Now it is time to let it go
We won't give you another try
I have been there before

For my dignity I will dissent
But you can count on their return
Falling back to sleep
My rage and distress will appear again

And as the morning comes again,
I'll try to fade out of my mind
It seems like I've been hypnotized
But still I don't seem to realize

Did you see them fall?
Will life ever be the same?
Did you hear them call?
The fights, the screams, the shame

Could it be we ignored the times,
Caught in memories?
But now that you adore the pain,
Their belief, their mysteries

I can't tolerate your ignorance
Your mouth that moves, but makes no sound
There is no end to memories
Wake up before you hit the ground!

Here I stand on the edge of my fear again
I will stay through smoke and tears and dirty end

Back to sleep again,
Forced to live within this dream,
Once I thought I'd get over it
But the distrust is much too strong

Blinded by the light,
the scenes are burned into my mind,
it's like a goddess crushing.
And the ashes washed away.

And as the morning comes again,
I'll try to fade out of my mind
It seems like I've been hypnotized
But still I don't seem to realize

Here I stand on the edge of my fear again
I will stay though the smoky tears have no end
Here I stand on the edge of my fear again,
Don't look back, you know how the story ends
