Verse 1
and then the world would forget about us
and then the world would forget about me
for as long as i can remember
I wanted to go down in history
We may only have today
But it’s still ten thousand to one
Become whatever I was meant to be
Before the setting of the sun

Verse 2
make peace with your demons
or they make war with you
I’ve let them steal my joy
I wonder if they know what they’ve put me through
be under no illusion
be under no one’s lie
catastrophe is opprtunity
if the truth gets in your eyes

CHORUS
Why are you holding on
Why are you holding on
To no one

Verse 3
I see a ghost of myself, at the coffee machine
Old man with blanket eyes, staring to a place he once had been
Do I have enough
Have I done enough
Will I be enough
Have I got the stuff… that will get me through?

Verse 4
I’m gonna be alright, I say defiantly to the dying light
The new, the next, the now
It’s all fading out of my sight
Oh, but’s heavy, heavy on my soul

CHORUS
Why are you holding on
Why are you holding on
To no one

Verse 5
You see I want so much, perhaps everything
The darkness that comes whenever I fall
The blaze of glory when I sing
Now is it too late, to dive in deep
Come out the other side, in twilight sleep

Verse 6
and then the world would forget about us
and then the world would forget about me
for as long as i can remember
I wanted to go down in history
We may only have today
But it’s still ten thousand to one
Become whatever I was meant to be
Before the setting of the sun

CHORUS
Why are you holding on
Why are you holding on
To no one

Can you see me at all
Should I run or crawl
Did I survive the fall
can you hear me call

Can you see the invisible man?
Can you see the invisible man?
Can you see the invisible man?
Sitting in the corner with his head in his hands
Can you see the invisible man?
Can you see the invisible man?
Sitting in the corner with his head in his hands
Sitting in the corner with his head in his hands
