Holding On Lyrics by Bootleg Rascal

Asleep in the Machine

2015

[Verse 1]
As I walked up and into your house
That looked me in the eye and showed me too much
All in all that I refused to see
Holding on to the last looking forward for the rest
Faded photos on the wall
But I was blinded by your tiring codes

[Chorus]
And I've been holding on for a better day
Looking to the sky for a quick escape
We'll never see eye to eye

[Verse 2]
And look around can't you see
You're running backwards over dreams
Although it seems to be getting old
You're becoming cold
Don't fall victim to the pressure
Stick to the letter
Just know when to fold
But I was blinded by your tiring codes

[Chorus]
And I've been holding on for a better day
Looking to the sky for a quick escape
We'll never see eye to eye

Always holding on for a better day
Looking to the sky for a quick escape
I'll plant my feet just to run away

[Bridge]
Don't push me to the edge
Leaving me with my dreams
I've got the power to break this hold
You've been out of control
Trying to stumble on home
In the middle of this storm

[Pre-Chorus]
Run away
Run away
We'll never see eye to eye
Run away

[Chorus]
And I've been holding on for a better day
Looking to the sky for a quick escape
We'll never see eye to eye
Always holding on for a better day
Looking to the sky for a quick escape
I'll plant my feet just to run away

[Outro]
And I've been holding on for a better day
And I've been holding on for a better day
And I've been holding on for a better day
