Holding Back the Fire Songtext
von Bittencourt Project

Lay down and surrender
You soldier at arms
Your war will be over when you find peace inside

There′s ain't no way around it
No reason to fight
Life′s worthwhile when you forget you're gonna die

For this minute I'm just fine
All my anger settles down
I′m holding back the fire
Holding back the fire

Words are washing away
Like the paths of my tears
Realigning my thoughts through the pages of the years

Stop making it worse!
Must accept what you′ve got!
Don't live your tomorrows as just another day
Turn another page and live your life
And live your life


But my heart still bleeds
It′s ripping the scars
I'm bearing the suffering with thorns wounding my heart

I refuse to see!
Am I going blind?
Can′t run from burning when the smoke is in your eyes

You're the only one to be blamed
It′s your own sacrifice

Stop looking for justice
That is not how it works
Don't leave for tomorrow what you can do today
What you can do today is change your life
Change your life

But my heart still bleeds
It's ripping the scars
I′m bearing the suffering with thorns wounding my heart

I refuse to see!
Am I going blind?
Can′t run from the burning when the smoke is in your eyes
It's in your eyes!


For this minute I′m just fine
All my anger settles down
I'm holding back the fire

Holding back the fire
That is ripping my scars
I am bearing the suffering
Holding back the fire

Beware of your anger
Your heart′s still on fire
Your war can't be won until you find some peace inside

Lay down and surrender
You soldier at arms
Can′t run from the burning when you're holding back the fire
Now my anger settles down
