Hold on.


Let's get to the point and all take our tongues out
And not show off our scars not leave here with doubts that
Things in life well they could've been easier
And let's make sure we fought for all that we leave with
And lessons we're taught make sure we believe them
And promises kept all turn into secrets we'll keep to our graves
Get down on your knees when
You feel sure the path ahead is about to end
You can never stop or you don't exist
If you've walked your shoes away
Then just stop here awhile and just sit here with me and just

Hold on
Tell me we'll hold on
To today
To tonight
To the morning
And just hold on
Tell me we'll hold on
Cause you feel
Cause you breathe
Cause when hurting
We are worth it
We can hold on

And we've all seen the road
That we all walked to get here
It's lined with the stones that we cast in our youth
May they glow like a coal
And keep passion inside us
Reminding though young and in love we're all fools
But the time that we spent
In arms and in longing
Can rewrite the pages our fathers left here
From a passage of hope and an act of conviction
To letters unsigned and unsent out of fear

You're so sure the path ahead is about to end
Will you throw this all away
Or keep pace with a stride that stays even with mine
And we'll

Tell me we'll hold on,
Tell me we'll hold on,
Cause you feel,
Cause you breathe,
Cause we are hurting,
We are worth it,
We can hold, on.

This song is incredible. Jason Landcaster never ceases to amaze me with his lyrics and vocal talent. This song has gotten me through so much recently.

The Reaction

Feels good as it brings you down.
That moment when nothing else matters to you in your life.
I'm numb.

I can feel it move through my veins.
I can feel the reaction.
My heart's beating faster.

I've tried to find a way for me to fill this void inside.
I never thought that I would sink this low.
And now I think I've lost control.
Drift off to that perfect place.
That escape where you hide from the issues and fears that you face.
I'm numb, I'm numb, I'm numb.

I can feel it move through my veins.
I can feel the reaction.
My heart's beating faster.
I can feel it crawling in my blood.
I can feel the reaction.
My heart's beating faster again.

Believe the lie that these drugs will save your life.
Believe the lie that these drugs will save your life.
Believe the lie that these drugs will save your life.
I believed the lie that these drugs would save my life.

Help me, God.
'Cause I've lost my way.
I'm so caught up in myself these days.
Can't see your face.
So, help me, God.
'Cause I've lost my way.
I'm so caught up in myself these days.
Can't see your face, your face.

I tried to find a way for me to fill this void inside.
But what it was I didn't see, was your hand reached out to me.
