Lyrics
Well I found myself on an edgy rock
Bloody raindrops kissing a beach
Barefeet overcast cut up with scorn
Numb to the salt and the tattered and torn
And I ran when the tide was approaching
And I chased it 'til it fell out of reach
And held like a mussel to that craggy cliff
Instead of drifting to sea like a lonesome skiff
I just held on tight, to my own destruction
I just held on tight, to my hope
I just held on tight, to the rough obstruction
I just held on tight, to my kaleidoscope
I twist and I turn my perception
'Til I find something I can believe
Like a ladder to the top of a waterfall
An oasis on top of a bouncing ball
And I'm looking out toward the horizon
A goal that I'll never achieve
So I hold on to all that I've left behind
Hanging myself on the ties that bind
I just held on tight, to my own destruction
I just held on tight, to my hope
I just held on tight, to the rough obstruction
I just held on tight, to my kaleidoscope
And these patterns keep changing, they're never the same
And it's all about changing the rules of the game
And these rose-colored glasses, they keep changing shape
And the old looking glass is, no means of escape
It seems to me that pain fits into love
Just like a finger fits into a ring
And just as Autumn cools into Winter
Summer will always bloom out of spring
