Paroles de Beyond My Grasp

I tried, with every shard of my being,
To extend my help, but for what

There is nothing I want more than to be able to have your hands press against my chest,
So that you could feel the absence of a beating heart.
One that with those same gentle hands, you, yourself tore out.

Straining to grasp a hold of the past,
My hand remains empty and alone,
I slowly become cold to the touch,
Just beyond my grasp it all fades away

My hand clenches itself into a fist,
Buried rage consumes,
Anger points itself at my hollow figure,
For letting you in to begin with,

I tried, and I cared, and I lost,
And you, what has become of you,
Maybe you suffered the worse of our two fates,
Amidst all of this you lost who you were,

Truth, such a simple word,
Ive become so disillusioned with its meaning,
I know its the one thing I have left in my heart,
And No matter what, Ill cherish that, By concealing my emotions and becoming one with the stone on which we walk upon,
I remove all chance of repeating the victimization of my innocent and calloused hope,
And subsequently I withdraw onto myself a lack of concern and care for all around me,
For I am lost and will continue to lose.

And I ask myself, time and time again,
Am I responsible for letting you slip away
There will always remain that one burning question,
But there is only so much one man can do.

Then I see you again,
With a smile on your face,
I bite my tongue and turn the other way,
What corpse carries a smile with it as its left for dead
