lyrics

Holding Back And Up

Keeping thoughts inside of my head
Or you better play dead
Clean living instead
Monstrous dreams then you wouldn't believe
Like a snow without sled
You better paint it all read

Breaking out or breaking in
It's how your mind receives it
Molded steel and worried sea
Can't you take me back to sleep

Sliding back as you shift into power
And a well oiled machine
Are you still in a dream
Music blasts and the engine comptetes
Now you feel so complete
Slow motion instead

Keeping up or keeping out
It's how you dare to dream it
Holding fast or holding on
Can't you take me back to sleep

Only I know where I go and hide to
(Somewhere I can hide)
Oceans sigh as people fly right by you
(Flying people right)

Backing up or backing down
As motion swirls around us
Won't you shake my memory
Where can it be
(Where can it be, where can it be)

Driving rain won't keep me away
While you're lying in bed
Watching life in my head
Tired boot with a foot full of lead
What your mother just said
You better wake up instead

Keeping up or keeping out
It's how you dare to dream it
Holding back or holding down
Can't you take me back to sleep
