I've been hol-ding on too tight to let you go
Now I'm sin-king in the mi-re
Wish we could go back to how it was
But we're too close to the wi-re
Cross the line on my ho-ri-zon
Sa-pi-ens per-vade like a vi-rus
Fin-ding so-lace in i-so-la-tion
If the wolf cries "boy"
Keep calm, car-ry on
Dead a-mong the li-ving
No-thing to be-lieve in
Ma-king sin-ners of saints
All the fears un-faced
Swar-ming all a-round me like ants
As the fla-me is prised a-way from the moth
Stron-ger in their num-bers
Tur-ning on each o-ther
Is this out of our hands?
Hol-ding on too tight to let you go
I'm sin-king in the mi-re
Wish we could go back to how it was
But we're too close to the wi-re
If I give them an inch, they take a mile
Does love have to be tough?
Cruel to be ki-nd
Think of all the peo-ple you have turned your back on-
Do you mourn the lost souls from your pa-le high hor-se?
I've been hol-ding on too tight to let you go
I'm sin-king in the mi-re
Wish we could go back to how it was
But we're too close to the wi-re
Fly with-out fear of lan-ding
Wel-come in-to the fold
Not all who wan-der shall be lost
Sur-roun-ded yet some-what lone-ly
The ca-rou-sel claims its toll
Pay-ing a price, not coun-ting costs
What if the weight is lif-ted
When we are all re-newed?
When will the pen-ny ev-er drop?
Who will our bur-dens car-ry?
Who will not shed a te-ar
If our pulse should e-ver stop?
Hold on tight and ne-ver let me go
Take me back to how it was be-fo--re
Hell knows I was ho-li-er than thou
But hea-vy is the head that wears the cro--wn
