telling the whole truth

[jackrational]

when you first took my hand
you told me i would understand
and learn to break, to bleed
i said "i'll follow where you lead"
i was compelled, i had no choice
there is something in your voice
like a siren's song to me
i am so bound and yet so free
your eyes were like the lights
of a search party in the night
i huddled lonely in the dark
of a life so cold and stark
you led me back to belief
and relieved me of my grief
at how cruel the world can be
as we made one where we
could speak, and be, and feel
something nameless, yet so real
hand in hand, we rose above
we climbed so high to fall in love
in my dreams, this world we've made
will never end, crumble or fade
and if i could have my way
i would ask you to stay
for the rest of our lives...
