Quiet the mind (iamx)

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?

So brutal when the words are on 
The tip of your tongue,
So strange when your tired eyes won't 
Shut your brain down.

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. 

Sometimes I can taste my death 
Like a candy bar.
So sweet and complete 
As infinity takes me 
This fool's end.

I create to keep that dog in my bearable door.
I made hologram 
In my egocentric universe of--

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.

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.

Hold back the fear.
Hold back the darkness.
Hold back the melancholy.
Hold back the melancholy,
It's a crime.
