Lay It Down

I curse the years I let it lay
How I watched you fade to grey
Unable to break through the quiet
Could I take you by surprise
Or fi nd a way to thaw the ice
I wanted to stir up a riot mess

Although I dreamt it a thousand times
Although I scripted every line
You were bulletproof
I missed my cue

You hide yourself in a gilded cage
But your wine fueled fi ts of rage
Has left cracks in you
And you're shining through

Let me take it off, let mе lay it down
You're invincible and terrifiеd

Living on the stage you made
Hanging on to your charade
Portraying a role you invented
You stumble through a marathon
Hoping someone calls your con
Stuck in a frame you resented

You know I've seen your spider bite
Know how you cling to your kryptonite
And I'm on to you, I'm on

Let me take it off, let me lay it down
You're invincible and terrified
The walls you've built, the lakes we'll cry
I'll take it all, I'll let you fly

We take it off, we lay it down
Invincible and terrified
The walls we've built
The lakes we'll cry
We'll take it all
We'll make it right

We lay it down
