HOLD STILL LIGHT ESCAPES

© rich pagano/BMI

Hold still light escapes
We can make more lightening
Hold on tight
Hold still light escapes
If it seems too frightening
You’re still alive

Loud sirens and angel wings
Get away from here
Take my watch and ring
Time passes into the night
Cut away the pain
Pray for morning’s light

Can they fix it? (Get on with your life)
Did I really need it (forget the scene of the crime)
The curse of the worried 
Fall of serenity
Somebody save me

Hold still light escapes
We can make more lightening
Hold on tight
Hold still light escapes
If it seems too frightening
You’re still alive

Eyes tear as you roll along
Under a haze of light
Curtains drawn
Anastasia with talking heads
Float away before
You can count to ten

Can they fix it? (Get on with your life)
Did I really need it (forget the scene of the crime)
The curse of the worried 
Fall of heredity
Somebody save me

Hold still
Won’t hurt a bit
Hold still 
It’s almost over 
Everything is so beautiful 
I feel so loved

Can they fix it? (Get on with your life)
Did I really need it (forget the scene of the crime)
The curse of the worried 
Fall of heredity
Somebody save me

Hold still light escapes
We can make more lightening
Hold on tight
Hold still light escapes
If it seems too frightening
You’re still alive
