Lay It 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.
You need a little makeup dear
To cover up all your stains
With another trick right here, yeah
You fool them all once again
You need a little emptiness
Before you know what is real
And take a little taste of wine, yeah
To give yourself half a chance
And when you're weak of holding on
Release your wayward soul
And with these treasures you have found
The broken pieces of your crown
It's time to lay your cross on down
(Lay it down)
And with this kingdom you have now
It's time to lay your cross on down
You better lay it down
You carry in a bright white lie
To cover yop all your shame
You're gonna have to testify, yeah
To color in all your claimes
And when you're weak of holding on
Release your wayward soul
Spend your days not falling down
Before your empty idols
And with these treasures you have found
The broken pieces of your crown
It's time to lay your cross on down
(Lay it down)
And with this kingdom you have now
It's time to lay your cross on down
You better lay it down
And when you're weak of holding on
Release your wayward soul
On your walk to surround yourself
Before your idols
And with these treasures you have found
The broken pieces of your crown
It's time to lay your cross on down
(Lay it down)
And with this kingdom you have now
It's time to lay your cross on down
You better lay it down
Lay it down
(Lay it down)
And with these treasures you have found
The broken pieces of your crown
It's time to lay your cross on down
Lay it down
(Lay it down)
And with this kingdom you have now
It's time to lay your cross on down
You better lay it down
