I walk between the dividing lines I dance around the exit signs I hate the world more than I hate myself I can't pretend that it's a cry for help Tattered manifestos litter the mind Diplomatic plans ravaged by time It never really was the truth or lies We just gave up and said our goodbyes (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) So hold me, hold me, hold me like a heaven (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) I want some faith and wanna be forgiven (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) I wanna feel your divine intervention (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) So hold me, hold me So hold me, hold me like I'm lost in your heaven What is the future of the future? When memory fades and gets boarded up All the ties that bind have come undone Seconds of hate, tiny screams of love (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) So hold me, hold me, hold me like a heaven (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) I want some faith and wanna be forgiven (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) I wanna feel your divine intervention (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) So hold me, hold me So hold me, hold me like I'm lost in your heaven Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) So hold me, hold me, hold me like a heaven (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) I want some faith and wanna be forgiven (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) I wanna feel your divine intervention (Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh) So hold me, hold me So hold me, hold me like I'm lost in your heaven
