Hold On

I take a final breath, breathe it in my lungs
'cause everything I’ve done has made me numb
If I had just one wish, it’d be to let this out
So, let go
And late at night, I wonder:
Am I lightning lacking thunder?
A cabaret marquee?
Just flashing lights, flickering a tease
Inviting freaks to a fantasy
A bait and switch, and blurry dream
But inside, there’s no skin to see
I’m not giving up, I’m not giving up
I take a final breath, breathe it in my lungs
'cause everything I’ve done has made me numb
If I had just one wish, it’d be to let this out (so let this out)
Now, hold on — so, hold on
But I’m still struggling, I need to let this out
So, let go
'cause Heaven knows, I’ve got Hell for hope
A fallen angel looking for a rope
I’m standing outside the pearly gates
But no one is calling my name
I’m not giving up, I’m not giving up
I’ve got to somehow let this go
Or I never will feel whole
