Lyrics
There's a knock at your door
You don't even recognize the stranger
It's you from before
Trying 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
Hold on to your heart
Hold it high above floodwaters
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 heart
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 lightning 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?
Hold on to your heart
Hold it high above floodwaters
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 heart
Never let nobody take it over
Ever take it over
Ever take it over from you
Is it all a game of bait, and switch your brains
And follow your leaders to hell?
Is it all the same in vein, in love insane, is drinking from a poisoned well?
And I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine
'Cause this one that I'm in, 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
Hold on to your heart
Hold it high above floodwaters
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 heart
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
Ever take it over from you
