Pop tart

What's our mission

Do we know

But never listen

For too long

They held me under

But I hear

It's almost over

In Detroit

On a Memphis train

Like you said it's

Down in the heat and the summer rain of

The automatic gauze of your memories

Down in the sleep at the airplane races

Try to hold on

To this heart

A little bit longer

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

Try to hold on

For this heart's

A little bit colder

Try to hold on

To this love

Paperback scrawl your hidden poems

Written around the dried out flowers

Here we are still trading places

To try to hold on

Pop tart

Can you envision

A free world

Of clear division

For too long

They held us under

But I know

We're getting over

In Detroit

With the Nashville tears

Like you said it's

Down in the heat with the broken numbers

Down in the gaze of solemnity

Down in the way you've held together

To try to hold on

To this heart

A little bit closer

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

Try to hold on

For this heart's

A little bit older

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

And we are still alive

Try to hold on

And we have survived

Try to hold on

And no one should deny

We tried to hold onto the pulse of the feedback current

Into the flow of encrypted movement

Slapback kills the ancient remnants

That try to hold on

Try to hold on

To this heart alive

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

Try to hold on

And we are still alive

Try to hold on

And we have survived

Try to hold on

Pop tart

You never listen

Skinned knees

Try to hold on

Stop start

What's our mission

Skinned knees

Try to hold on
