|
There's a knock at your door |
|
You don't even recognize the stranger |
|
It's you from before |
|
Tryin' to warn you all about the dangers |
|
There's a hole in your head |
|
At least that's what everybody's guessing |
|
It's why you're always misread |
|
It's why you sleep but you never feel rested |
|
You never get your rest in |
|
Chorus: |
|
Hold on to your heart |
|
Hold it high above flood waters, |
|
Hold on to your heart, |
|
Never let nobody drag it under. |
|
Hold on to your heart |
|
Even when your body's bitter |
|
Hold on to your heeeaaarrrtt |
|
Never let nobody take it over |
|
ever take it over |
|
Ever take it over from you. |
|
There's a call on the phone |
|
You don't even recognize the number, |
|
It's an old episode, |
|
Of trying to put the lightening on the monster, |
|
Of the life you have led, |
|
That is always a mess |
|
Are you dreaming of death? |
|
Are there ghosts in your chest? |
|
Are you always so restless? Yes you are |
|
Is that hard? |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Is it all a game |
|
But bait and switch your brains |
|
And follow your leaders to hell |
|
Is it all the same vein of insane, |
|
As drinking from a poisoned well |
|
And I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine |
|
'Cause this one that I'm in |
|
Has let me down once again |
|
Over time, |
|
And I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine |
|
'Cause this one that I'm in |
|
Has let me down once again |
|
Over time. |
|
Chorus: |
|
Hold on to your heart |
|
Hold it high above flood waters, |
|
Hold on to your heart, |
|
Never let nobody drag it under. |
|
Hold on to your heart |
|
Even when the whole world's bitter |
|
Hold on to your heeeaaarrrtt |
|
Never let nobody take it over |
|
Ever take it over, |
|
Ever take it over, |
|
Ever take it over, |
|
Ever take it over, |
|
Ever take it over from you. |
