Lay Down

message is waiting you're anticipating a change in the plan

And you know what to do but it's seeing it through to the end

Afraid of the light but you know it's so right that it leaves you cold

You are standing alone in a fortress you can't defend

And you're sleepless alone in the deep of the night

The feeling of emptiness boring a hole in your soul

Somebody said what you needed to hear

And you know that it's right but the truth is the one thing you fear

Lay Down, in the early morning dew

Fall down, just to get a clearer view

Lay Down, it was not the life you planned

Fall down, it's the only way to stand

You're outside the gate but it's never too late for a change of heart

While the things that you cling to are pulling you down to your knees

So you stare at the ceiling and wait for the light

The feeling of emptiness boring a hole in your soul

And it plays in a loop - what you needed to hear

You know that it's right but the truth is the one thing you fear

Hard to believe you have come this far

Just to find that the man you are

is waiting for a friend

Your life, is a struggle to seize the day

As you're watching it slip away

A rule that will not bend
