depth at a cost

i've had fantasies of mental anguish
its a beautiful myth-- torment equals depth and reason

i'm sorry.  i hope you'll forgive me.

i wish you peace.
you'll make it through.
you always do.
Come and see 
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles 
I'm coming slow but speeding 
Do you wish a dance and while 
I'm in the front 
The play on time is won 
But the difficulty is coming here 
I will go in this way 
And find my own way out 
I won't tell you to stay 
But I'm coming to much more 
Me 
All at once the ghosts come back 
Reeling in you now 
What if they came down crushing 
Remember when I used to play for 
All of the loneliness that nobody 
Notices now 
I'm begging slow I'm coming here 
Only waiting I wanted to stay 
I wanted to play, 
I wanted to love you 
I'm only this far 
And only tomorrow leads my way 
I'm coming waltzing back and 
Moving into your head 
Please, I wouldn't pass this by 
I wouldn't take any more than 
What sort of man goes by 
I will bring water 
Why won't you ever be glad 
It melts into wonder 
I came in praying for you 
Why won't you run 
In to rain and play 
Let the tears splash all over you
