lyrics

Self-destruct sequence initiated,
All our intentions obliterated,
Never looked back, never looked back for you.
Glory my days into supersonic,
Taking the haze as a medicine; it's
red as the blood,
Reticent blood for you.
I tore myself, I tore myself into
Confetti honesty that just won't do.

But maybe I can try to stand a future
as long as you can hold me.
as long as you can hold me now.
as long as you can hold me down.
And tend a resolution
if only you could hold me now.
You told me you would hold me down
as long as you can.

Reasons to quit gone apocalyptic.
Loosens the grit running through my lipstick.
Never looked back, matter-of-faction views. [Never looked back for you] [Never look back now]
Given so hard that you just can't feel it?
Layer it under a thick concealer.
Sell for a song of severance unto you.
I told myself, I told myself it's through,
Then all around this wartorn hell, the debris rose anew.

And maybe I can try to stand a future
as long as you can hold me.
as long as you can hold me now.
as long as you can hold me down.
A tender resolution,
if only you could hold me now.
You told me you would hold me down
as long as you can.

As long as you can hold me now,
As long as you can hold me now,
As long as you can hold me down,
As long as you can hold me down.

Hold me down, as long as you can.
Hold me down, as long as you can.
Hold me now, as long as you can.
Hold me now, as long as you can.

Maybe I can try to stand a future
as long as you can hold me.
as long as you can hold me now.
as long as you can hold me down.
Eternal resolution
if only you could hold me now.
You told me you would hold me down
as long as you can.
