I Hold On Video (MV)

You're coming at me from all sides, I can't see
I've shut my eyes and now I'm blind-you eat me
I can't be ignorant, the world doesn't work like that
I can't believe that I'm so weak, I'd fall like that

My entire life, I've reached up toward the light
But now I grew up and saw the world-it's out of sight
Got all these doubts running through my mind-it's killing me
It seems like not believing is filled with ease

But I know better and I really gotta get a grip
My knuckles white as bone as I begin to slip
I've grown distracted and that was never ever an option
From now on, it seems I have to proceed with caution

There's nothing I can do
This is all I have, too
My reflection is foggy
Do I even want to see?
What this world's done to me
This humanity
I'm dragged down by my sin
So much suffering

Your screaming makes my ears bleed,
I can't heed
Whatever it is that you're telling me
There's no way I can stand when all you do is push me back
All you do is bury me until everything is black

There's a world that you'll never see
It's placed right here inside of me
And every time I knot my noose,
The branch I trust, it breaks loose
I'm the one who feeds the lies
I'm the one who's paralyzed
Thick skin starts with me
Yet here I am, cursing a tree.

This world is consuming
All my hopes and my dreams, yeah
White knuckles, I hold on
Til the dark has been withdrawn

This world is consuming
All my hopes and my dreams, yeah
White knuckles, I hold on
Til the dark has been withdrawn

Paralyzed and I'm blinded
The only light is inside me
White knuckles, I hold on
Til the dark has been withdrawn

This cliff is crumbling
My hope is failing
With white knuckles, I hold on
Screaming till darkness withdraws
