A Plea To The Dying Lyrics - Emilie Autumn

So, that's it then? 

The rumor 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 who 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 

Tell me 

I 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 were right to want this 

And I am wrong to want to stop you 

But you need not make this move 

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 that you do? 

Why do I? 

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 

And I can 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 re-open 

And I will not pass through it anymore 

And I can tell you 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 have always, 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, no other man can hope to attain 

Look into your heart and see written there 

The name of whom 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 at 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
