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
