Apollo

The hours are slowly ticking by

Where the days are full of shame

Sitting on the pavement of my life

Should I've forgotten your name?

Like the stars on Orion's Belt

We're trapped by our history

Even when we're long gone

And masqueraded by mystery

I can't let you go and I can't keep you around

When I see your face, I know that I've let you down

I couldn't hold you tight enough

I wouldn't let you go

We're just falling through the skies

Four amps drawn from where we came

There's no more twinkle in your eyes
While you fan your dying flames

You don't ever say what you mean
And you never mean what you say
This paper crane is drowning
In your manufactured claims

I can't let you go and I can't keep you around

When I see your face, I know that he's let you down

I couldn't hold you tight enough

I wouldn't let you go

Letting Go

I need you like I need a hole in my head
For all those times where I'd be better off dead
Love is your prison
Telling you what to think and who you can think of

As the days become your nightmares
And your nights as clear as day
Sipping on your sanity
Holding his hand like it's the way

He's dragging you down tonight
The tunnel is losing its light
Your anxiety is starting to show
So you better hold on before I let go
Before I let go

I'm an expert at blowing you out of proportion
Without you, I thought my life was full of distortion
But now, you're lying, crying on the floor
Telling me about how he doesn't care any more

As the days become your nightmares
And your nights as clear as day
Sipping on your sanity
Holding his hand like it's the way

He's dragging you down tonight
The tunnel is losing its light
Your anxiety is starting to show
So you better hold on before I let go
Before I let go

Sipping on your sanity
While you're holding his hand like it's the way
Out of your troubles
Out of your mind

I'm a subject of phases
A victim of mazes
I'll never learn not to try

I can't give you the benefit of knowing
You know exactly how I feel

He's dragging you down tonight
The tunnel is losing its light
Your anxiety is starting to show
So you better hold on before I let go
Before I let go
