Hold

Bursting at the seams

Feel the stitches cross my skin

Hold me together

Like how I’ve never been

Ever crawling slowly

Ever rushing harshly

Try to wait

Try to stop

Hold me in

Too late

I’m gone

Hold me back

I’ve been flying so high

Couldn’t see the ground

Couldn’t care why

Hold me down

I float like I’m air

Never falling down

Spinning in the glare

Hold it in

Hold it back

Hold…

… me

And the threads are loose

In the wind, I’m strewn, diffuse

Come apart

Come as one

To enter as air into your lungs

No longer earthly

You have no hold over me

Too late

I’m gone

Hold me back

I’ve been flying so high

Couldn’t see the ground

Couldn’t care why

Hold me down

I float like I’m air

Never falling down

Spinning in the glare

Hold up

Was I ever truly there

Sunshine spinning in the glare

And I don’t want to come down

I’m never coming down

I’m never coming down

Hold

Hold

Hold
