This Simple Plea

I will watch it all fall

and I will hear the sorry crash

when the moon with the stars

let go to see the everlast

and so desperate is his wanting

for a pulse or single beat

as his lonely laughter echoed

in the silence of the street

She reached out with hope in hand

her simple plea tonight

gather up the courage

using every ample bit of might

he's living for disgust

and fallen fathers of this past

dreaming up a nightmare

where each frightful second is made to last

I watched him tremple

I watched his hands shake

I watched his eyes close

and I watched his pulse break

and I heard the voices

that torment his nights

sleepless he lies and lonely he fights

She reached out with hope in hand

her simple plea tonight

gather up the courage

using every ample bit of might

he's living for disgust

and fallen fathers of this past

dreaming up a nightmare

where each frightful second is made to last

So, He stopped and opened his eyes

she stood with arms open wide

he took her hand tonight

to make this hurt feel alright

Let go, hold on

this won't take long

I will save you

So listen without another question

She reached out with hope in hand

her simple plea tonight

gather up the courage

using every ample bit of might

he's living for disgust

and fallen fathers of this past

dreaming up a nightmare

where each frightful second is made to last

Let go! Hold on!

this won't take long

I will save you

If you'd let me.
