[Verse 1]
There was light before the rain began
And there was hope behind the suffering joke
Lies come, lies they go, even the sun is tired
Under the surfaces, there is a benevolent drone
Do you feel it?

[Pre-Chorus]
So brutal when the words are on the tip of your tongue
So strange when your tired eyes won't shut your brain down

[Chorus]
Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the fear, darling, it's a crime
Hold back the fear
Hold back the melancholy, it's a crime
(Quiet the mind)

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I can taste my death like a candy bar
So sweet and complete, as infinity takes me
But before that
I create to keep that dog at my bearable door
I made hologram in my egocentric universe, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
You're alive, but you know that the wire under you is bending
And the truth is always telling you to be immune to everything
[Chorus]
Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the fear, darling, it's a crime
Hold back the fear
Hold back the melancholy, it's a crime
(Quiet the mind)

[Outro]
Hold back the fear
Hold back the darkness
Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the melancholy
It's a crime
