[Verse 1] Son, lift your head up, it's gaining, it's going somewhere Son, shift your halo, it's feigning, it's pulling your hair Before the roots grew tight around the offers of your love Before you lay your body on the thoughts you're thinking of [Chorus] Hold your memory up to the light Memory up to the light Memory up to the light Memory up to the light [Verse 2] There was a morning, a wedding, a drawing of you (Be there all the time, be there all the time) There was a dying, beheading, the ash of the ruse (Be there all the time, be there all the time) Before you move so quickly as to chalk yourself undone Before you fill your belly with the stories that you've spun [Chorus] Hold your memory up to the light Memory up to the light Memory up to the light Memory up to the light Hold your memory up to the light Memory up to the light Memory up to the light Memory up to the light [Outro with Chorus in background] And when you glow like the day When you float like the rain in summer You cannot say That you never have tasted glory And when you glow like the day When you float like the rain in summer You cannot say That you never have tasted glory
