If you intend lyrics

If you intend to live again

Open your eyes and don't pretend

You're feeling there's nothing worth believing

God, if you persist you'll die like this

And wither in the midst of your first season

Cut down with no reason

How can you be so near and not see everything?

If you intend to live again

Then take the outstreched hand of one

Who needs you

It's been so long, we've missed you

Why do you intend to speed your end?

Lie in the dark and let your limbs grow weaker

Sinking low, then deeper.

How can you be so near and not see everything?

Feel what might be

See what I see

Again and again and again and again, say you don't

You say you don't, but you will

How can you be so near and not see?
