Let It Lie

Feathered, crowned and forgotten
Raised up, let down
It's been so long since we were anything
Why don't we let it lie?

I feel like I'm dying here, but I don't know what I need
It's killing me to be here, and it would kill me to leave

Feathered, crowned and forgotten
Raised up, then let down
It's been so long since we were anything
Why don't we let it lie?

If I don't save you now, who's going to save you?
If I don't hold you down, who's going to hold you?

Feathered, crowned and forgotten
Raised up and let down
It's been so long since we were anything
Why don't we let it lie?

You and i are like a picture of a train;
It's never moving, but we know it's supposed to be
So we try to believe -- please believe-- that I tried

Feathered, drowned and forgotten
I know I raised you up, I never meant to shoot you down
It's been so long since I felt anything
Why don't we let it lie?
Please don't let me lie
Why can't I let it die?
