[Long instrumental intro]
[Verse]
Just an old soul on its own in a modern world that’s breaking,
Picking up the pieces of me that’s still worth savin’.
My mind, it’s so damn frustratin’,
Please, I need somethin’…
Please, give me somethin’ that’s worth holdin’ on.
[Pre-Chorus]
When the nights get cold and the silence grows,
It’s hard to find the faith in a world I don’t know.
[Chorus]
When violence turns into silence, it’s fuckin’ hard to have faith inside me,
I’ve been fighting so damn hard to hide it, but it’s all I know.
I’m hangin’ on to every breath, my chest is burnin’, it’s all I got left.
I’m just prayin’ somebody will hold me… when life gets so lonely.
[Verse]
They say better days take time, but I can’t stop the clock from spinnin’.
Every dream I had feels like it’s slippin’, losin’, thinnin’.
I’ve been chasing light through the shadows I made,
But hope feels distant, and it all starts to fade.
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I beg the dark, won’t you let me through,
If there’s somethin’ out there, Lord, give me a truth.
[Chorus]
When violence turns into silence, it’s fuckin’ hard to have faith inside me,
I’ve been fighting so damn hard to hide it, but it’s all I know.
I’m hangin’ on to every breath, my chest is burnin’, it’s all I got left.
I’m just prayin’ somebody will hold me… when life gets so lonely.
[Percussion and Guitar break]
[Bridge]
I’ve been scream-singin’ into the night,
Bleedin’ my heart just to feel alive.
If I’m breakin’ down, let the world still see,
The fight in my soul, what’s left of me.
[Final Chorus]
When violence turns into silence, it’s fuckin’ hard to have faith inside me,
I’ve been fighting so damn hard to hide it, but it’s all I know.
I’m hangin’ on to every breath, my chest is burnin’, it’s all I got left.
I’m just prayin’ somebody will hold me… when life gets so lonely.
[Outro]
They tell me that better days take time…
I’ve been holdin’ on, but at this point life don’t feel worth a dime.
Still I’m searchin’ for somethin’ worth holdin’ on.
