Dredg- Matroshka (The Ornament) *with*lyrics

Off of Catch Without Arms.

lyrics-

I was looking down at you
smiling up at me
for once I held you tight
but shadowed hands grabbed at me
your head was in the clouds
now the clouds are in your head
that's when you needed me so I listened to what you said

look another year went bye
they keep passing by
God damn I didn't even die
too old and slow I have grown
I fought time but lost

your love was like a callus
I scarred enough to be
tough and immune
my body adapts you see
to all above my head
and all below my feet
no that's one freedom you will never take from me

to criticize and judge
how did I end up here
with these standards I'm supposed 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.
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

Amazing song with golden lyrics. Seems like it's about mortality and someone looking back on their life. Anyone agree?

Some lyrics are missing:

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

[SinsOfArcadia]

I love the blatant homage to In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel at the end.

[snewso]

[kgkidz4life]

I read once in a while, people that don't like Gavin's voice, and to me that is insane.

@flaringshutter Not to criticizes, but some of the lyrics are wrong, not on your end, but the ones posted above, if I wasn't so lazy I would point them out........

[kokobok4o]
