Lyrics
To Hold On To
give me a moment to grab on to something
I’m flying too far too fast
the bottle of lighting kept in my pocket
it doesn’t seem built to last
to hold on to, to hold on to
yet it all just slips away
to hold on to, to hold on to
as we reach for one more day
so we run and we run
‘till there’s nowhere to hide
and we scream and we cry
‘till there’s nothing inside
so no one ever sees the masquerade
and we hope against hope
that it all turns around
as we leap off the edge
but we don’t see the ground
then like a wistful ghost I start to fade
somebody somewhere must have some answers
why are the eyes on me?
the fog can be daunting, the way can be shrouded
when are we finally free?
to hold on to, to hold on to
as we fall into the fray
to hold on to, to hold on to
when there’s such a price to pay
so we run and we run
‘till there’s nowhere to hide
and we scream and we cry
‘till there’s nothing inside
so no one ever sees the masquerade
and we hope against hope
that it all turns around
as we leap off the edge
but we don’t see the ground
then like a wistful ghost I start to fade
I fade… fade away
