Laying against the floorboards
I'm looking up
Walking through my memories
Not fast enough
I wait for you to come
But you don't
I'm kneeling here beside
The shrine that we have built up
Beautiful things
Artifacts of winter
Blue filtering
I wait for you to come
And you do
I think I might pull through
The sounds are calling me
Stay for a little while
Hold my hand
This room's spinning black
Around this bed
And my mind goes
Where it shouldn't go
Stay for a little while
Hold my hand
This room's spinning black
Around this bed
And my mind goes
Where it shouldn't go
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
I just wanna stay awake to see the morning light
You
By my side
I need you here right now
Chase away the demons
Chase away the fear
Try to find a way to keep me clear
I need you here
Tonight
Laying by my side
The sounds
The sounds are calling me
Stay for a little while
Hold my hand
This room's spinning black
Around this bed
And my mind goes
Where it shouldn't go
Stay for a little while
Hold my hand
This room's spinning black
Around this bed
And my mind goes
Where it shouldn't go
Someday I will show you how
It all unfolds in my head
Stay for a little while
Hold my hand
This room's spinning black
Around this bed
And my mind goes
Where it shouldn't go
