i know these things have passed you by
i know it's tough to even try
it's such a different kind of scene
i know you don't know what i mean

yeah well, i tried to tell you before
i know all you want is more
i'll always tell you different stuff
no matter what won't be enough

i figure it'll be cool sometime
after i've cooked everyone i find
i can only take it to that certain place
it's just not cool, look at your face

whenever you get in my face
there's something strange
i just start to taste
hold back (hold back)
hold back
hold back (hold back)
hold back

it's all restraint i'm gettin' these days
is it okay or am i out of place
so everytime you see me now
you psych for me till you remember now
i crawl here inside in mind with muck
you stopped smiling remember how everything sucked

dancing around what i could say
cause i just can't live that way
hold back, that's not enough to stay
hold back (hold back)
hold back
hold back (hold back)
hold back
hold back (hold back)
hold back
hold back (hold back)
hold back
