Stand Up

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.

You give me untold riches

To which I hatched a plan

I drink myself to death

Just because I can

Gave me many choices

I didn't understand

Crawled across the floor

I knew I couldn't stand

Can't lie to myself this way

I have to stand up and walk away

I can't lie to myself this way

I have to stand up and walk away

Stand up

Stand up

Stand up

Stand up and walk

Away

Hard to watch you suffer

So hard to feel the pain

But you're wrapped so tight in your one block world

Too scared to make the change

Ask yourself this question

While you're playing with your gun

Is your finger shaking on the trigger

Are you really having fun

I can't lie to myself this way

I have to stand up and walk away

I can't lie to myself this way

I have to stand up and walk away

Stand up

Stand up

Stand up

Stand up and walk

Away

Stop talking

Try listening

To what I'm trying to say

If you're walking

You're breathing

Maybe you can make a change

You give me untold riches

To which I hatched a plan

I drink myself to death

Just because I can

Now I'm judge and jury

Are you having so much fun

Sitting up there on your throne

I've only just begun

I can't lie to myself this way

I have to stand up and walk away

I can't lie to myself today

I have to stand up and walk away

Stand up

Stand up

Stand up

Stand up and walk

Away
