Can You Whisper?

Each step brings me closer to the edge

Each second brings me closer to the end

Looking around, I've noticed what I've found

But thinking of it now, I'm not sure how

Glancing down, I see crashing waves

Glancing up, I see empty days

Staring forward, nothing but dark nights

Staring back, nothing but hellish fights

Inside of me, just an empty shell

The warmth escaping everytime I fell

Here I stand, cold as stone

Soulless man, down to the bone

But you can pull me back 

If you push forth

With a single word, you can do all that

With a single touch, you can do much more

You can push me down

If you pull me up

I know you won't let me drown

Your heart works like a mop

Brush my hair out of my face

I'll try to be your listener

If you tell me they'll be better days

Can you whisper?

Say a soft word, and let your voice echo

Show me your world, and never let go

Say my name, and take me out of winter

Can you whisper?

Break my shell and melt my heart

Save me from hell and don't let me part

Hold my hand and don't let me slip

Stop me from going mad and don't let me trip

Shake me 'till I wake

Wake me from what's fake

Don't let the demons consume me

Help me be free

Whisper my name and let me know you're there

Stop this game, it's done nothing but tear

Can you make my life differ?

I long to hear you whisper

I can't find myself, I can't find myself

A wound in the soul, it's too much to bare

Been doomed in the dark hole, can't get out of there

To dark to see, to dark to believe

I'm hopeless and lost

Take me now, now that our paths have crossed

Why wait, I have nothing more to lose

Today's the date, go ahead and make a move

Why just stand there, why keep me alive

Can't you see I no longer care, no longer strive

What's the point, I've already died

Hit my soul's joint, reached the high tide

No more fight left in me

I can't even be

This pain has always stung

I've just been to blind to see

Now I crave something I musn't have

Hear you laugh, tirede of playing twister

Take me now, take me at last

But let me hear you whisper

My name, in your voice

Just one more time, but it's your choice

Time to say goodbye, so make me shiver

Can you whisper?
