lyrics
Slip n’ slide, this roller coaster ride,
Has got me in a fright,
Twist and turn, I got my heart to burn,
And I’m afraid of heights,
Although my ride’s with you,
I gotta pay my dues,
And hold on,
With you.
I see the lights, they are awfully bright,
It makes me go insane,
They’re blinding me, and all I can see,
Are shadows of my brain,
So I can reflect my mind,
Despite the lights that pierce inside,
And hold on,
With you.
I try to see it through,
And days have passed,
And all I see is you,
As I fall off my high,
I turn from stars,
But I can’t say goodbye,
Can’t stand this ball and chain,
It cuts my wires and circuits from the mainframe,
As I can’t escape this dame.
I don’t know why my heart can’t fly,
Despite the way we died,
Its wings are seared by lightning tears,
There’s trouble in the skies,
But as long as I live and breathe,
My heart and mind will carry me,
And hold on,
With you.
I try to see it through,
And days have passed,
And all I see is you,
As I fall off my high,
I turn from stars,
But I can’t say goodbye,
Can’t stand this ball and chain,
It cuts my wires and circuits from the mainframe,
As I can’t escape this dame.
And I’m going insane,
Trying to pick a path to take,
My story’s mundane,
But even demons have their time to break,
As all hell breaks loose,
My thoughts will kill me; I don’t need a noose,
But if I do won’t you tie it loose for me.
My final test, no time to rest,
‘Cause trouble’s in the air,
I wear my shoe, one sock and a boot,
Just catch me if you dare,
Even though it’s you I allude,
Even death is scared of what I’ll do,
So hold on,
With you.
I try to see it through,
And days have passed,
And all I see is you,
As I fall off my high,
I turn from stars,
But I can’t say goodbye,
Can’t stand this ball and chain,
It cuts my wires and circuits from the mainframe,
As I can’t escape this dame.
I try to see it through,
And days have passed,
And all I see is you,
As I fall off my high,
I turn from stars,
But I can’t say goodbye,
Can’t stand this ball and chain,
It cuts my wires and circuits from the mainframe,
As I can’t escape this dame.
