[Verse 1]
On the day I went to see you, city blocks were up in flames
In a way I'm drifting by without a trace
It's a dullness in the feeling
Or a calm before the storm
Couldn't tell you anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere in the basement
Furnace is somehow lit
Dust glints in beams of broken light
I'm barely keeping it alive
I'm barely keeping it alive
[Chorus]
Hold on before it's hauled away
An ocean of long fading days
When drowning, who am I to blame?
I'm holding before it's hauled away
[Verse 2]
Creaking steps up to the attic after all I crawled in place
With the waning tonic coursing through my veins
Got me counting nights so finite
As the moon through the window
Sears my shadow to the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere in the basement
Furnace is somehow lit
Dust glints in beams of broken light
I'm barely keeping it alive
I'm barely keeping it alive
[Chorus]
Hold on before it's hauled away
An ocean of long fading days
When drowning, who am I to blame?
I'm holding before it's hauled away
