Lyrics
0:32Holding it together
0:33With barely any motion
0:39Like so many motes of dust
0:41My dreams keep stirring in me
0:44But all I see are
0:46Rivers of violence
0:49Running red on the streets below me
0:54While passionate strangers whisper desire
0:57All I know is I'm on fire
1:00I need just one thing
1:04I can believe in
1:08Oh just one thing
1:13Just one thing
1:14I can believe in
1:17Hiding in the shadows
1:20I wanna stand in the light
1:24Trust is unknown to me
1:26I've been betrayed by the night so long
1:30I can never belong to anyone anymore
1:34Why does everybody think they know me
1:39I go through the motions playing my role
1:43Nobody knows what's deep in my soul
1:47I need just one thing
1:50I can believe in
1:54Give me just one thing
1:58Oh just one thing I can believe in
2:03Love let me down
2:09I wanted to believe that love was the one thing
2:12But every time I turned around love let me down
2:48In my imagination
2:51I come out of the darkness
2:55The moon in my fantasy smiles down on me
2:59I am a child running wild and free
3:02But then the fight for survival look
3:06Takes me out of my illusion
3:10And I'm back in the emptiness
3:13Fear and defeat
3:15Trapped in a rhythm I don't want to repeat
3:18The taste of freedom is so close and sweet
3:22I've just gotta find a way off this dead end street
3:25I need just one thing
3:29I can believe in
3:33I gotta find one thing
3:37Oh
3:37Just one thing
3:38I can believe in
3:41I need one thing
3:44I can believe in
3:48Let me find one thing
3:50Gotta find one thing
3:52Oh
3:52Just one thing
3:53I can believe in
Holding it together With barely any motion Like so many motes of dust My dreams keep stirring in me But all I see are Rivers of violence Running red on the streets below me While passionate strangers whisper desire All I know is I'm on fire I need just one thing I can believe in Oh just one thing Just one thing I can believe in Hiding in the shadows I wanna stand in the light Trust is unknown to me I've been betrayed by the night so long I can never belong to anyone anymore Why does everybody think they know me I go through the motions playing my role Nobody knows what's deep in my soul I need just one thing I can believe in Give me just one thing Oh just one thing I can believe in Love let me down I wanted to believe that love was the one thing But every time I turned around love let me down In my imagination I come out of the darkness The moon in my fantasy smiles down on me I am a child running wild and free But then the fight for survival look Takes me out of my illusion And I'm back in the emptiness Fear and defeat Trapped in a rhythm I don't want to repeat The taste of freedom is so close and sweet I've just gotta find a way off this dead end street I need just one thing I can believe in I gotta find one thing Oh Just one thing I can believe in I need one thing I can believe in Let me find one thing Gotta find one thing Oh Just one thing I can believe in
