lyrics

Totally wired and under inspired I am alone
Here in the darkness the cold eats the harmless it finds a home
I am a person and like any person I need to love
I'm down on my knees but it's moments like these that I soar

So hold on my elusive friend til the end
Just hold on my elusive friend til the end
Be aware
Say a prayer
Just hold on

And show me a way I can see yesterday I don't wanna look
Cos I have worked hard to pay past no regard and to close the book
I am a person and like any person I'm here and now
Cos thinking up futures and what they might do to us kills

Just hold on

And maybe in time I can transcend the mind and put it aside
Cos living with it and it's continuous shit I just can't abide
I am a person and like any person I should be free
Free from myself and away from the shelf and outside

Hold on
