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.
