Why Do We Hold Lyrics

by Iris

Regardless of darkness and light, I have chosen

The tables, turning around me, such a burden

But the light is upon me and you, I will follow

North or south, I will ignite you, you're hollow

Incinerating, the shield is fading

Mortal cadence rises for you, one more time

Desperation (Desperation)

Becomes obsession (Becomes obsession)

I have paintings of you, I'll draw the pain

Hold on, onto the light

Cast by the angels that take flight

Why do we hold?

Look down, down onto me

Desperate to find the holiest peace

Why do we hold?

So that I can live to see you again

But without this incarnate, we claim, still receding

For the violence never solved anything, 'cause I'm still bleeding

Intoxication, controlled possessions

Hold in till my face turns blue, one more time

Crazed obstructions (Crazed obstructions)

Show my contortions (Show my contortions)

I have paintings of you, I'll draw the pain

Hold on, onto the light

Cast by the angels that take flight

Why do we hold?

Look down, down onto me

Desperate to find the holiest peace

Why do we hold?

So that I can live to see you again

This is my own vengeance

I will live for this day

(To hold you in my arms)

I will bleed for you

Hold on, onto the light

Cast by the angels that take flight

Why do we hold?

Look down, down onto me

Desperate to find the holiest peace

Why do we hold?

So that I can live to see you again

This is my own vengeance
