I'm tired of holding back
Kept myself hidden for so long
Took a walk but got lost
In the forest with my half-lit lantern
Couldn't find my way back

the magic in December
Seems to bring them back to life
For a moment they're all with me, by my side

I'm pouring everybody a drink
But I'm holding back

back.

Envy in your heart
others always miles apart
you don’t wanna be the last.
Fear is ever by your side
covering our eyes
you’re the one who’s holding

Then we said our goodbyes 
I waited for you to lean in 
Who would have known that a year would go by 
And you're all I had on my mind 

4th of July

Two by two
They came into that sunlit room
The only church in this town
The only town that I ever knew
I sat in the back row
Next to the open door
So

holding back and live tonight
Likes it’s your last
Tell me that you really want me
You’ll never make me cry and you’ll Never make me question why
Tell me

left
Restrictions imprisoned me and I don't care for phone calls
Staring at the Glenboig bricks... holding up my four walls

I feel like this year though

Howu0027s the years been gone by
Do you remember the days that we used to talk all the time

(Chorus)

I wanted you to be in my life
I wanted you to be by my

Surrounded by people but I'm so alone
I come back each day but this don't feel like home
The sun may be shining but all I can see is rain
So

the present and the past
Now and then my hometown draws me back
And I'm not sure if by now I belong  here or there

Back and forth, back and forth    
I'm

And i ain't
Coming back
From what
I turned out

Enticed
By pure as ice
Death tax
Wont get it back
So torn
Family on the phone
Last hope
To spend my life

cheer
Life may be flying by, but I'm glad you're still near
There's laughter in the kitchen, smells of pie and stew
Rocking back and forth, reminiscing me

telling lies
Getting high, scared to die

Remember momma saying
Everything gon be okay
Holding back tears
I could see the pain in her face

Struggled for

try to change for a better day
The moment I find this story's end

The years go by so fast and I must realize
That time waits for no one
It waits for no

fucking year
This precious life brought into a world of sorrow
Misery consumes what's left of hope
Is there any other light to live for
Holding on for

its last breath
And we seem confused
By the concept of death
Holding your hand
As we walked 
And we daydreamed
Coming back home
To an empty house

of holding back
Are running down her face
She wonders how it makes God feel
When she shakes her fist at his will
So she prays

She prays
That one day peace

get hit, and that's fine you'll see
Two years since you last dreamed

You'll be better off chasing what you can't see
Progression blocked by debris

Even the stars don't shine
When this heart of mine
Is simply holding time

Holding back the years
Feeling all my fears
Brings you closer somehow

I

at the four corners of the earth
Holding back the four winds of the earth
To prevent any wind from blowing
On the land
Or on the sea
Or on any tree
Into

want to be lit
Like 2-3 years ago you didn't want to commit
Now you tryna spin back cause you see that I'm it
Ima keep it a buck girl I just want to hit

Die chained in pain, misery in your body and your soul
Ritual of the blood, suffering by the mercy of god
Don't forgive their sins, thousand years

All demons ride high upon the bewitching Nightsky
They are only disturbed by a new-born child's painful cry
Son of the great dragon, come forth

THE MIDNIGHT BLUE

The years go by  you're alone on a freeway
Thinking back on your life
and those runaway nights
And you - realize you're still holding it
