[Verse 1]Look at the mirror, what do I see?Stretch marks of realitySunken eyes that cut deep into the soulWeighing it down with all they’ve seen and tried to holdOh, how hard it is to bend lightWhen everything is broken and nothing’s rightThese narrow places surface in my mindThey trap me in a room, far from what I’ve left behind[Chorus]Won’t you hold meDon’t let me goI need, I bleed, I need youIt’s the same old worldBut with crooked rulesHow do I hold onto you?[Verse 2]What we found in the sand:Shards of light, butterfly wingsAn empty shell full of sea soundWhen you hold it closeYou can hear the wavеsSwaying back and forthBack and forthI look at you and there is aching in your heartTransparеnt walls and no windowsAnd your chocolate eyes are mud piesThey’re thick with games and childlike gazesThick with love-loss-love-loss-love[Chorus]Won’t you hold meDon’t let me goI need, I bleed, I need youIt’s the same old worldBut with crooked rulesHow do I hold onto you?
