Matroshka (the Ornament) Lyrics

I was looking down at you smiling up at me

For once I held you tight, but shadowed arms grabbed at me

You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head

It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said



Look another year went by,

They keep passing by,

God damn I didn't even die,

To old and slow I've grown,

Well I fought time but lost



It was love like a callas you scarred enough to be

Tough and immune, your body adapts you see

To all above my head, and all below my feet

Know that's one freedom you'll never take from me



Look another year went by,

They keep passing by,

God damn I didn't even die,

To old and slow I've grown,

Well I fought time but lost



To criticize and judge, how did I end up here,

With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear.



Hold tight, hold tight



To criticize and judge, how did I end up here,

With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear.

To criticize and judge, how did I end up here,

With these standards I'm forced to love make me disappear.



Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight

Look another year went by

Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
