Hold me down

Stretch the skin on my face

To move like you want it

It must be good taste

To have a smile that’s haunted

You best not leave me alone

Or I might stray


Feed me my words through a straw

I could choke on perfection

My tongue sandpapered raw

‘Til it gleams recollection

Truth isn’t relative

At least not today


[chorus]
Hold me down

You can stop the world

From spinning now

But I’ll still taste the words on my

Lips from yesterday

Time just fades away

When you’re alone

With your thoughts overthrown

By their’s



Suck all the air from the room

Yet you’re the only one dying

Tell me is it too soon

To have moved past the crying?

Time is irrelevant

Where we are now


I tried to look through your eyes

But could only see your reflection

It seems narcissism

Spreads like infection

Living your life in glass

Where there’s no sound




[chorus]
Hold me down

You can stop the world

From spinning now

But I’ll still taste the words on my

Lips from yesterday

Time just fades away

When you’re alone

With your thoughts overthrown

By their’s



[Bridge]

You promise that you’ll be

Always there

When you need me

Cross your heart

And hope I die


[chorus]

Hold me down

You can stop the world

From spinning now

But I’ll still taste the words on my

Lips from yesterday

Time just fades away

When you’re alone

With your thoughts overthrown

By their’s
