Hold Steady

(Oh, hold it steady)
 (Get it ready)
 (Let it go)
 (Something simple I don't know)
 Stop, I can't think
 I've got everything flashing and I'm on the brink of collapse
 Oh, I'm way past that
 And I can't even tell
 We've got it all right here
 Or maybe we'll just disappear
 That's my only fear
 Welcome to hell
 Oh, hold it steady
 Get it ready
 Let it go
 Something simple I don't know
 She smiles, sips on a cocktail
 Talks about her long term plans
 She don't need schooling anyway
 She's gonna marry a rich old man
 Did we stoop this low?
 Man, I don't know
 She says she's broke
 But we're all broken too
 Oh, hold it steady
 Get it ready
 Let it go
 Something simple we don't know
 And I guess it shows
 We'd crack the skies in half if they said so
 Something simple I don't know
 We need to take it back to the front lines again
 Too many runners, too many loose ends
 Too many of them think they're men, they pretend
 No heads, no hearts, no end for them
 It's been so long I forgot what I want
 Too much thinking too little gets done
 And what if i'm wrong and have been all along
 This hill's too steep, I'm too far gone
 So I step back to the top again
 I live alone 'cause I can't make friends
 I wish somebody would make some sense
 I gotta stop wishing that the rules would bend
 Oh, hold it steady
 Get it ready
 Let it go
 Something simple we don't know
 And I guess it shows
 We'd crack the skies in half if they said so
 Something simple I don't know
