Repression

Total anominity

Its the difference that I've felt alone

 

Its the change that I've come to own

 

When I go back

It all comes back

So much I had to lock away

 

Its just the difference that's kept me sane

 

Just the difference that I've thrown away

 

When I look back

I just can't look back

You just took so much away

 

...

 

I've repressed all the hatred

That left me tired and alone

I've repressed all the love that

Kept me here and made a home

 

I've held in all the silent screams

I've been dying to cry out

I've kept in all the dried up tears

That have been slowly running out

 

YOU CAN KEEP YOUR SANCTUARY

YOU CAN BAN ME FROM YOUR LIFE

 

YOU CAN TRY TO HOLD ME HERE

BUT I KNOW THAT I'VE DONE RIGHT...

 

CAN YOU HEAR ME SHOUT OUT!

CAN YOU FEEL MY HEART POUND!

CAN'T YOU HEAR HER CRY OUT!

LET ME TAKE HER HOME!

 

CAN YOU FEEL THE SEASON?

CAN YOU SEE THE REASON?

CAN YOU STAND TO SEE US

HAPPY AND ALONE?

 

I've repressed all the lies I've told

For the truth that I blacked out

I've repressed all those good times

To forget when I cried out

 

I'm angry and fallen down

In the closure of myself

I'm so desperate for love

But my fear won't leave the shelf

 

YOU CAN STAND THERE BOASTING

ABOUT HOW I'M SO FAR OFF!

 

BUT YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND

ABOUT EVERYTHING I'VE LOST...

 

IT'S BEEN THIS SEPARATION THAT I LIVE ON

THE DISTANCE IN BETWEEN

IT'S BEEN A LIVING HELL WITHOUT YOU

BUT I'M GLAD YOU'RE NOT WITH ME!

 

CAN'T YOU HEAR ME SHOUT OUT!

CAN'T YOU FEEL MY HEART POUND!

CAN YOU HEAR HER CRY OUT?!

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CARES?

 

CAN'T YOU SEE THE REGRESS?

CAN'T YOU FEEL THE SECRETS?

DOES SHE WANT WHAT SHE GETS?!

OR AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT'S THERE?!

 

IT BEEN REPRESSION THAT I LIVE ON!

FORGETTING WHO YOU ARE!

ITS BEEN FORGETTING I'VE LIVED ON!

AND HOW I'VE COME SO FAR!

 

If I could wish for just one thing,

To keep her future true...

Than I would wish for her to know,

She'll NEVER BE LIKE YOU!

 

CAN'T YOU HEAR HER CALL OUT!

CAN'T YOU FEEL HER HEART POUND?

CAN'T YOU SEE THE PAIN -

THAT SHE IS GOING THROUGH?

 

CAN'T YOU SEE HER CRY NOW!

CAN'T YOU FEEL HER TEARS POUND!

CAN'T YOU EVER LET HER

SO FAR AWAY FROM YOU?

 

It would've been like Christmas

Or a time I thought I knew

Why all of this repression

Why I chose to forget you...

 

But when I see her crying

Her sobs on an empty street...

I just keep trying

So she never feels like me....

 

It's just all this repression

That keeps me so complex

All of these emotions

Almost a jaded wreck...

 

I can hear her call out

I can feel when she pouts

I can see the signs

So why can't you?

 

I can tell when she's sick

But I know the clock ticks

So please

Let her - leave - you...
