Dredg - Matroshka (the Ornament)

I was looking down at you smiling up at me For once I held you tight, but shadow hands grabbed at me You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said Look another year went by, They keep passing by, But damn I didn't even die, To hold it so I've grown, I fought time but lost It was love like a callas you scarred enough to be Tough and immune, your 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, To hold it so I've grown, 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, With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear. 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, hold tight, hold tight Look another year went by Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
