lyrics

S.Hennessey 2011
“Save Me Some Relief”
Let Go, Stop holding on
Let Go, Stop holding on
As we circle round the sun, I feel
the clock tick
We always tend to run, right when
the drum hits
Based on, how we’ve made it, up
until now
I feel, seamless, devotion
Can we, surrender motion?
Out of our hands
We make the mold, We brake the
mold.
Conceiving. When does the body
encompass the soul?
Believing. That everything
happens, to make up the whole.
You woke up screaming, last night.
Writhing, silent writhing.
Never so helpless.
Let’s pretend we’re dreaming
Let’s pretend we’re home
Somewhere there are reasons
That we’ll never know
Save me some relief….
Let’s Go!
Hit me again. Hit me again.
I never knew how much i could
take.
You’re my best friend,
I’ll stay with you till after the end.
And the shots keep comin’ on and
I’m holding you down, holding you
down
And the leaves are wet with colour
and they cover the ground.
And we knew that this could
happen, cause it happens all the
time
I wish someone would take some
action, take some action, take
some action… I’m bleeding.
Because I’m afraid, you’re afraid
(Don’t be scared)
You’re alive, we’ll survive (Don’t
cry)
Open your eyes, make me smile
(Mirror me)
Pretend your falling backward
freely, falling backward free
Let’s pretend we’re dreaming
Let’s pretend we’re home
Somewhere there are reasons
That we’ll never know
We’ve been through a failure
Through loss of hope, and more
The storm is almost over
Soon we’ll reach the shore
