Spoilers:
Please?
Purple haze and azure dreams;
Your soul is afraid to live,
And your heart is hiding inside.
Tears are frozen glaciers hiding in the oceanic pools of your eyes.
Will you give me your hand
And let me bring you into my light,
Or will you wallow in your inky darkness,
One with the night?
You lurk in the shadows of grief
And guilt
Abstaining from messy feelings
And the unpleasant stickiness of love.
My, you must think me pure honey . . .
Come with me,
I can't watch you rot any longer,
It's breaking my heart,
You're eating my soul.
Abandon this forlorn melancholy
And let yourself love,
Let me love you,
And let us be together.
Please . . . ?
Don't turn away, don't give me another
Blank stare!
I've already collected a thousand.
Say something, let go . . . break
Your penitential silence, and let a smile
Shape your lips and sweeten your features.
I don't know what to do for you, how to help.
Will you tell me?
Please?
I'm dashing my emotions upon jagged rocks,
And I know you see,
And I know you feel,
No use playing the brick wall with me.
An enigma, a god, a man-made machine -
Who you are at the core remains an allusive mystery.
And sometimes I'm not sure that there's anyone at home.
But I'm here,
And I love -
I love something inside of you -
What it is I'm not exactly sure.
If you'd look me in the eye when you feed me your careful lies
Maybe I could find that invisible spark
That ignites my fiery heart.
Please?
Is this stupid? Useless?
Don't try and tell me it's all been a lie,
I won't believe you again if you try.
I'm asking you, pleading with you
To give me some true sign
Do you love me?
Do you care?
Leave off your infinite masks at the door
Before I tear them off and cast them on the floor.
No more games and lies and manipulations,
I just need to know if your heart beats
At all
For me.
Just answer the question, damn it!
Please?
