Hold On, Thomas

Hold On, Thomas

 

music by Z.E.D. Existence

We touched down
I didn't know what I was up again
The door knows me
How can I extract this civilian
Without getting lost myself

Some halls go on forever
This one leads to you
But it also leads to me
I hear my name in the carpet
I hear my doubt in the vents
Hold on, Thomas

You’ve been gone for days
Don’t want to be absorbed in the haze
I keep my hands in the game
I keep my face to the flame
If I step too far in
Will I come back the same?

Hold on, Thomas
Hold on, Thomas
Don’t let it take you
Don’t let it take you
Hold on, Thomas
I’m almost through

The desk light bends my shadow
Down a corridor of files
Every badge I pass
Feels like a borrowed mile
You left a mark on the threshold
A scratch in the paint
I follow it slow
Like a prayer I can’t say

You’ve been gone for days
Don’t want to be absorbed in the haze
I keep my hands in the game
I keep my face to the flame
If I step too far in
Will I come back the same?

Hold on, Thomas
Hold on, Thomas
Don’t let it take you
Don’t let it take you
Hold on, Thomas
I’m almost through

Some halls go on forever
Some names get swallowed whole
But I found the center
And it looks like home
If you hear me calling
Meet me at the boundary
I’ll pull you back
I’ll pull you back to me

Hold on, Thomas
Hold on, Thomas
Don’t let it take you
Don’t let it take you
Hold on, Thomas
I’m almost through
Hold on, Thomas
Hold on, Thomas
Don’t let it take you
Don’t let it take you
Hold on, Thomas
I’m coming through
