was it because I was so young
or was it love because it was love
and it was you who I wanted to see?
was it because the life we led
knew nothing but the sounds inside
until our eyes finally opened
and we finally heard one another?
was it because I finally felt desire
even though you were so far away
and I could only dream of a song

the echos of why fade
the limb braced itself
for the burden of my life

innocence tied the knot
guilt wept but then forgot

lust for vengeance
blood for hatred
death to forgiveness

it was not the way I wanted it to be
but a dream is not always true
I wanted to wish for these thing
but the wish would not listen to me

as it washed away I saw what it could be
walking where only animals once lived
made me feel sad but what could I do
when the world is begging me to set it free
