Did it push you away?
Did it blind you at the door?
Was there too much light?
Too much noise?
Where does it begin?
Where does it end?
When do I pretend?
Where do I fit in?
Why do I hold onto?
Why do I hold?
Why do I hold on too...?
Why do I hold?
There's a dark theur* at the door
Waving his magic wand
Swears that if you let him in
All will be gone:
All that you don't want
All that you don't need
All that has you haunted
From all that you believe
Why do I hold on too...?
Why do I hold?
Why do I hold onto...?
Why do I hold? (x2)
I do not understand
How many times do you have to take it in your hand
When you know it burns? (x2)
*Probably still not right but at least that phrase actually does mean "an evil wizard" and sounds pretty damned identical to whatever he really says. Besides, it took me years trying to figure out that one lyric from "Then Go" and when I asked him and he told me "a tinseled Decca tree" I'd never heard of such a thing in my whole life so it's not like he's never used incredibly obscure mystical terms in a song before. My other (admittedly much more plausible) theory is that he said "dog" when he meant to say "God" since they're the same backwards and people often do that by accident. Will have to hear him play it again somewhere else first to know for sure.
