IRIS (William Alex Ryan)
Why Do We Hold (2019)
[Verse 1]
Regardless of darkness and light
I have chosen
The tables turning around me
Such a burden
But the light is upon me and you
I will follow
North or south, I will ignite you
You're hollow

[Verse 2]
Incinerating
The shield is fading
Mortal cadence rises for you
One more time
Desperation
Becomes obsession

[Pre-Chorus]
I have paintings of you
I'll draw the pain

[Chorus]
Hold on onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold
Look down, down unto me
Desperate to find the holiest peace
Why do wе hold
So that I can live to see you again
[Verse 3]
But without this incarnate we claim
Still rеceding
For the violence never solved anything
'Cause I'm still bleeding

[Verse 4]
Intoxication
Controlled possessions
Holding 'til my face turns blue
One more time
Crazed obstruction
Show my contortions

[Pre-Chorus]
I have paintings of you
I'll draw the pain

[Chorus]
Hold on onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold
Look down, down unto me
Desperate to find the holiest peace
Why do we hold
So that I can live to see you again
[Bridge]
This is my own vengeance
I will live for this day
To hold you in my arms
I will bleed
For you

[Chorus]
Hold on onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold
Look down, down unto me
Desperate to find the holiest space
Why do we hold
So that I can live to see you again

[Outro]
This is my own vengeance
