"Hold The Light" lyrics

It's a tired drumbeat in my chest
I left all the ones I loved the best
Loneliness was stripping off her dress
And that's alright

I was getting used to cutting ties
And rubbing out your crayon drawing eyes
Said you didn't wanna stay the night
And that's alright

When it gets colder
It's alright
We're lonely soldiers
In the deep dark night
I wanted to know ya
I wanted to fight
Don't have to be over
Oh oh oh oh oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light
Oh oh oh oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light

A comedy is crying in my head
Sinking while I'm filling up with dread
Try sometimes to save you from my bed
'cause I'm a lie

I'm terrified you've seen my fake machine
'cause skin is only fleeting velveteen
Bouncing on the stormiest of seas
'Til morning light

When it gets colder
It's alright
We're lonely soldiers
In the deep dark night
I wanted to know ya
I wanted to fight
Don't have to be over
Oh oh oh oh oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light
Oh oh oh oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light

When it gets colder
It's alright
We're lonely soldiers
In the deep dark night
I wanted to know ya
I wanted to fight
Don't have to be over
Oh oh oh oh oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light
Oh oh oh oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light
