Stay Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wasn't a fighter until somebody told me
I had better learn to lean into the punch
So it don't hurt as bad when they leave
There you were, turning your cheek
I look at you and you look at a screen
I'm in the back seat of my body
I'm just steering my life in a video game
Similar acts and a different name
It's a slow down
So would you teach me I'm the villain, aren't I?
Aren't I the one constantly repenting for a difficult mind?
Push me down into the water like a sinner, hold me under
And I'll never come up again
I'll just stay down
It's a half life, it's a fallout
It takes so long for me to settle down
And when I finally do there's no one else around
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
