Holograms - Gareth Emery

Oh, I can be a slave for you I'll wash your feet with my hair Or I can be an animal Chasing you when you're scared I was never made for you But I like to pretend I'd rather have a smoke or two  But here we are again Here we are again Here we go again like a Ferris wheel Spinning is around so surreal We're made of holograms, digital love Oceans between physical touch Here we go again like a Ferris wheel Like a Ferris wheel I think about the shapes we make When our bodies are fed up I think I've heard it all before But I want your attention You wrap around me like a snake I have to catch a plane My chest is bulletproof but You kill me once again Here we are again Here we go again like a Ferris wheel Spinning us around so surreal We're made of holograms, digital love Oceans between physical touch Here we go again like a Ferris wheel Like a Ferris wheel

Lost and defeated, but still I stand My heart in pieces will beat again There is a story written in the stars That makes it worth it just to bear these scars Left foot forward and then my right It's not over, I've still got fight You get that feeling when you cross that line Like it was worth it just to take what's mine Brave enough to broken (oh-oh) Can't see, but keep going, oh Brave enough to be broken There's no more fear inside I threw my heart in the fire I've never fallen from higher But I'm still here I'm still here I threw my heart in the fire I've never fallen from higher But I'm still here I'm still here I've been through pain, but I'm still alive Walked through the flames to the other side You get that feeling when you cross that line Like it was worth it just to take what's mine Brave enough to broken (oh-oh) Can't see, but keep going, oh Brave enough to be broken There's no more fear inside I threw my heart in the fire I've never fallen from higher But I'm still here I'm still here I threw my heart in the fire I've never fallen from higher But I'm still here I'm still here Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh I'm still here Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh I'm still here I'm still here I threw my heart in the fire I've never fallen from higher But I'm still here I'm still here I threw my heart in the fire I've never fallen from higher But I'm still here I'm still here

I'm gonna stand right here I'm not gonna move And when the sky falls down You'll find me next to you I'm gonna stand right here And wait for your voice And when the world's at war You know we've got no choice, hey When you hear the sound of the world on fire And all that you can see is a big red sky When you know you can't make it on your own I will be your soldier When you're falling down and your armour fails I will be your shield, I will keep you save When you know you can't make it on your own I will be your soldier When you hear the sound of the world on fire And all that you can see is a big red sky When you know you can't make it on your own I will be your soldier When you're falling down and your armour fails I will be your shield, I will keep you save When you know you can't make it on your own I will be your soldier Hey I will be your soldier I will be your soldier

I'm gonna stand right here I'm not gonna move But when the sky falls down You'll find me next to you I'm gonna stand right here And wait for you voice But when the worlds at war You know we got no choice, hey When you hear the sound Of the world on fire And all that you can see is a big red sky When you know you can't make it on your own I will be your soldier When you falling down and your on the fence I will be your shield that will keep you save When you know you can't make it on your own I will be your soldier When you hear the sound Of the world on fire And all that you can see is a big red sky When you know you can't make it on your own I will be your soldier When you falling down and your on the fence I will be your shield that will keep you save When you know you can't make it on your own I will be your soldier I will be your soldier I will be your soldier

As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined You must have had yourself a change of heart like Halfway through the drive Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign Kept on drivin' straight and left our future to the right Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face And memories are somethin' even smoking weed does not replace And I am terrified of weather 'cause I see you when it rains Doc told me to travel, but there's COVID on the planes And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas And I'll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad No, I am no longer funny, 'cause I miss the way you laugh You once called me forever, now you still can't call me back And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas And I'll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do Oh, that'll have to do My other half was you I hope this pain's just passin' through But I doubt it And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas And I'll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do Have to do

Just outside the black lines my father drew the face of a girl And I didn't hear the words that the old man said Would crush the whole world My mother's eyes caught mine as she took the pen from my hand The brothers and the sisters just whispering "Hallelujah! Amen" Fear yourself is all I heard Horror-struck from the Holy Word There's only so many times you can ask for forgiveness And as the saints came down to receive The spirit moved and they earned their reprieve But outside those walls they mauled the witness And we got back to business The blur of living two lives, sometimes you have to compromise (That's what you tell yourself?) You become the aesthetic, set-apart and prophetic (But for how long? It won't work!) But hide away the wrong things that somehow you just can't beat (And it gets worse) Everything is hidden and you can't Remember why you believed every word Fear yourself is all I heard Horror-struck from the Holy Word There's only so many times you can ask for forgiveness And as the saints came down to receive The spirit moved and they earned their reprieve But outside those walls they mauled the witness And we got back to business
