Talking to yourself in the old way
So familiar from sleeve to the seam
Battered and frayed
Tattered, not brave, on the days that you don't feel like being

Hold on
Hold on
Day and night come
Day and night come for me

My patterns erupt in a strange wilderness where I don't even recognize me
And the shoes on my feet they get stuck on repeat
And I never know where they might lead

Hold on
Hold on
Day and night come
Day and night come for me

It's just not the same here since you went away
From the places that you're supposed to be
It's just not the same here since you went away
Damn my eyes
Just not the same here since you went away
From the places that you're supposed to be

Daniel, I'm afraid I'm losing your face
Though I've studied your pictures for weeks
Combing the corners for memories if only just once more
I could hear your voice speak
Daniel, I'm afraid I'm losing your faith
Though I've read all those books that you'd read
My path has been darkened by clouds of doubt
Part them just once more and help my eyes see
Help my eyes see

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
