You, you change your mind

For the twentieth, twenty second time

This one feels so different by the smell of the wind

You didn't know your name

But it didn't matter once the police came

Lost in the woods with a darkness you needed to save

I know you've heard these words before

If the only the truth was as thick as your skull

I wait, I waited to lie so the medics could save your life

If only your will was as strong as your word

Holding out

Holding out

So they take you in

And you field all the questions like watching an old movie again

Where you know every line

So you mouth along

But in this life

Our endings aren't set in stone

Like the cinematic sketch

Our pencils erase

But they're useless if you've broken the lead

I know you've heard these words before

If the only the truth was as thick as your skull

I wait, I waited to lie so the medics could save your life

If only your will was as strong as your word

Holding out

Holding out
