lyrics

Mirror watches all that you don't see
All you choose to forget
Reflects it back to me
In memories of troubled days

And yes I have a choice
To leave before it hurts
To take back my own voice
But for now I'll, for now I'll

Hold on to my, hold on to my soul
Before you take it away, take it away
Hold on to my, hold on to my soul
Before you take it away, take it away

You believe your intentions have been pure
Regrets, you have none
Relationships, unsure
Won't listen to what others say

You expect me to mend your sores
While you take up your post
And fight your holy wars
For a god who's never once been there

Hold on to my, hold on to my soul
Before you take it away, take it away
Hold on to my, hold on to my soul
Before you take it away, take it away

Innocence has been lost
Consequence has found
Its way into my heart
And it covers me in a faded light

And how you build yourself up
No longer brings me down
I've washed my hands of all you've done

Hold on to my, hold on to my soul
Before you take it away, take it away
Hold on to my, hold on to my soul
Before you take it away, take it away
