Hold On

Can you hold on for a little while
I'm trying to restart your heart
There's so much bleeding
How are you breathing
How have you not let go

When the rain comes to sweep you up
Can you hold on to the fire
You once sprang forth with deeper desire
Where has the flame flown

Not home
Not homeward
Not back to body
Or to soul

When your light burns out
Where will your heart go
Not homeward
No to home

There must be a thousand questions in your head
Like how can't hear the music you've lead
Keep holding on to memories heavily
When your fingers jump they feel no melody

Come ticking time bomb
Your time has run out
When the dark comes to greet you
Step in without doubt

And may we all greet you
Our heads still filled with life
You can sew the scar
Where our end found a scythe

When the rain comes to sweep you up
Can you hold on to the fire
You once sprang forth with deeper desire
Where has the flame flown

Not home
Not homeward
Not back to body
Or to soul

When your light burns out
Where will your heart go
Not homeward
No to home

Can you hold on for a little while
I'm trying to restart your heart
There's so much bleeding
How are you breathing
How have you not let go
