Matroshka (the Ornament) Lyrics - Singles - Dredg

I was looking down at you smiling up at me 

For once I held you tight but shadow hands grabbed at me 

Your head was in the clouds, now, those clouds are in your head 

It's when you needed me so I listened to want you said 

Look another year went by 

They keep passing by 

But damn, I didn't even die 

Too old and slow I've grown 

I fought time but lost 

It was love like a callus you scarred enough to be 

Tough and immune, to body adapts you see 

To all above my head and all below my feet 

No, that's one freedom you'll never take from me 

Look another year went by 

They keep passing by 

But damn, I didn't even die 

Too old and slow I've grown 

Well, I fought time but lost 

To criticize and judge, how did I end up here? 

With these standards I'm forced to love 

Make me disappear 

(Hold tight, hold tight) 

To criticize and judge, how did I end up here? 

(Hold tight) 

With these standards I'm forced to love 

Make me disappear 

(Hold tight) 

To criticize and judge, how did I end up here? 

(Look another year went by) 

With these standards I'm forced to love 

Make me disappear 

Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight 

(Look another year went by) 

Hold tight, hold tight
