Pop tart 
What's our mission 
Do we know 
But never listen 
For too long 
They held me under 
But I hear 
It's almost over 
In detroit 
On a Memphis train 
Like you said 

It's down in the heat and the summer rain of
The automatic gauze of your memories
Down in the sleep at the airplane races

Try to hold on 
To this heart 
little bit longer 
Try to hold on 
To this love 
Aloud 
Try to hold on 
For this heart's 
little bit colder 
Try to hold on 
To this love 

Paperback scrawl your hidden poem 
Written around the dried out flowers 
Here we are still trading places
To try to hold on 

Pop tart 
Can you envision 
free world 
Of clear division 
For too long 
They held us under 
But I know 
We're getting over 
In Detroit 
With the Nashville tears 
Like you said 

It's down in the heat with the broken numbers 
Down in the gaze of solemnity 
Down in the way you held together

To try to hold on 
To this heart 
little bit closer 
Try to hold on 
To this love 
Aloud 
Try to hold on 
For this heart's 
little bit older 
Try to hold on 
To this love 
Aloud 

And we are still alive 
Try to hold on 
And we have survived 
Try to hold on 
And no one should deny 
We try to hold on 
To the pulse of a feedback current 
Into the flow of the cryptic movement 
Slapback kills the ancient remnants 
That try to hold on 

Try to hold on 
To this heart 
Alive 
Try to hold on 
To this love 
Aloud 
Try to hold on 
And we are still alive 
Try to hold on 
And we have survived 
Try to hold on

Pop tart 
You never listen 
Skinned knees 
Try to hold on 
Stop start 
What's our mission 
Skinned knees 
Try to hold on
