Please

Rather than living a linear life of moments, the man is trapped in a long single moment that spans all moments that would occur in that span from a linear perspective. And from anywhere within that long moment, he feels the effects of every part. At this point, he expects every moment to be is last, and the woman he loves seems intent on destroying him in the little time he has left. But he is committed because along with all of the pain, he also feels the love when they first met. So he pleads with her.

Lyrics:

How do I tell you?

What do I say?

What we've been doing

can't work this way ... so, please, listen to me ...

The times we've spent fighting, you've gotten crueler with your ways

It strangles out the life that's left in our remaining days

I stumble and still feel weak

Still I'll struggle to carry on



I will follow you into the ruin of both our souls

At which time, the madness dies

And I don't care if I never see the sun again

As long as I can just look your eyes



I hope you're listening

I hope you care

What we've been doing

has gone nowhere ... so please, listen to me



My heart is bound in chains and you've swallowed the key

My pain and humiliation are there for all to see

I writhe in the searing pain

Still I won't give up



I will endure all the pain that you inflict on me

Still, I will stand right by your side

And if your tortured soul can only mend by tearing down my world

you'll know I loved you 'till I died



I hope you're listening

I hope you care

What we've been doing

must go somewhere so please, listen to me



My life runs out of me, my time is nearly gone

Still you think of just your world, I still feel like no-one

I've waited in tortured silence

Now, once more I have to say



I will love you 'till the day that I no longer breathe

and all the life has gone from me

And you should know that my last breath will sing your name as it passes

from my lips into eternity



I hope you're listening

I hope you care

All we've been doing

can go nowhere so please, listen to me
