How long do I hold on?

Here, wearing this dress,
          G          Bm
Though my hair is a mess,
     G             D         Bm  
I’m hoping you’ll see the 
     G
distance in me.
D       G             D
Here, faced with the ice,
      G          Bm
The cold of the sky
G             D               Bm
Freezing its way through the 
           G
heart of the day.


D      G       Bm
You, neutral scene,

And cracking now.


D               G             Bm
Here, treading ground that I know,
G           Bm
Bare over stone,
      G        D             Bm  
The circles I form on the 
          G
landscapes are drawn,
  G          D             Bm    
Matching my mind in their endless
     G
 design.
D        G               Bm
No, the pain’s not your fault.
        G            Bm
You say I’m made of salt:
     G           D          Bm   
You can’t rub it in, it was born 
       G
on my skin.


D      G        Bm
You, silent thing,

How long do I hold on?
G              D              Bm
Wearing this dress I’m still 
         G
holding my breath.
D              G   D
How long do I hold on?
         G           D          
Can you give me the faith to be 
Bm            G
heartless and brave?
