Stay Down

Beating after beating Rebound I've been patient Patient enough to hold back Until now Teaching my feet to leave the ground Feel the weight lift Taking off on the right track Those thoughts have their place at the back of my mind Stay down They didn't tell me, I felt it There were no choices or questions This body has a mind of its own Wide-eyed in the dark While it died in my arms This life is a lesson to learn Passed every point of regret Dancing over my own grave I held back Until now Silence is half the noise in this duet Asking over and over for it to end Only kept you alive in my head Stay down They didn't tell me, I felt it There were no choices or questions This body has a mind of its own Wide-eyed in the dark While it died in my arms This life is a lesson to learn To be trusting and fuelled by misdirection To be innocent beyond recognition So you ask the question Is this something you chose or something you're forced to invest in? Something you're forced to invest in Stay down They didn't tell me, I felt it There were no choices or questions This body has a mind of its own Wide-eyed in the dark While it died in my arms This life is a lesson to learn They didn't tell me, I felt it There were no choices or questions This body has a mind of its own Wide-eyed in the dark While it died in my arms This life is a lesson to learn Stay down This body Has a mind Of its own
