Rexile - Please Hold Lyrics

Please hold; I've got voices in my head
Got a twitch in my hands that try to follow them
I'm told it's not too late to earn some bread
Close your eyes, take a breath, and start counting to ten
It's a perpetual waiting game
Fear that every cent you spend is
Digging spots for your own grave
Calculating odds to drop a fiver on a scratch-off card
Panic kickstarting some elaborate scheme
Six figures over night

So why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold
Staying up, late at night
I'm trying to make it dynamite
Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold
Playing cards close to chest
I guess I think it's for the best
Motivation happens minutes after it's too late
I'll major in refresher courses going at this rate
Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold

Please hold; I'm not the me you know
Tangled in catch twenty-twos,
It's getting comfortable to lose
Too cold, I miss hearing "getting warmer"
I know all too well I'm going farther and farther
You could spell it out for me
You could get a child to see
Explaining to the nth degree
My most evident tragedy
I know the best things come from risk
It's just a slap on the wrist
Flashing lights and warning signs don't seem to do the trick

Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold
Staying up, late at night
I'm trying to make it dynamite
Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold
Playing cards close to chest
I guess I think it's for the best
Motivation happens minutes after it's too late
I'll major in refresher courses going at this rate
Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold

Please hold; I'm stuck in a free fall
I'm staring contest champion
Me versus the bedroom wall
Gets old, hearing y'all have all arrived
But I'm still at the boarding station not changing my situation
Waiting for my eggs to hatch
The numbers, man they never match
Add up shooting stars like opportunities to catch
Every second every day I know I need to make a change
Tomorrow's safer, that's when I'll break out of this cage

Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold
Staying up, late at night
I'm trying to make it dynamite
Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold
Playing cards close to chest
I guess I think it's for the best
Motivation happens minutes after it's too late
I'll major in refresher courses going at this rate
Why you put my dreams on hold
Why you put my dreams on hold

Please hold; I've fallen down and I don't care to get back up
