Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the fight came to an end
And bitterness prevailed
I found shelter behind a thick shell of silence
And to protect myself from the pain
I learnt to turn it against you
Made it the knife that carried out my form of violence
[PreChorus]
And all that would remain
Was the memories so bitter and sweet
And the thought of all that could have been
[Verse 2]
I lay awake at night
Taking the parade
Of the ghosts of all our unborn sons and daughters
You cracked me open and took
All that was still alive inside
And then you threw my empty shell back in the water
[PreChorus]
And all that has remained
Was the memories so bitter and sweet
And I wonder if you think of me now
[Chorus]
Lay down, lay down that cross you bear on your back
Banish the demons that sit on your neck
Don't let them continue to slam their claws deep into your flesh
And I know it's not easy for you
But not only you feel the pain
[Verse 3]
From the bottom of this hole
My hand is reaching out
Wishing to touch something with my fingers
There is just an empty void
And the only sound I hear
Is the echo of my silent cry that lingers
[PreChorus]
And nothing will remain
But a shell washed up on a shore
Bearing witness to a life long lost
[Chorus]
Lay down, lay down that cross you bear on your back
Banish the demons that sit on your neck
Don't let them continue to slam their claws deep into your flesh
And I know it's not easy for you
But not only you feel the pain
[Bridge]
Empty void
Sound I hear
Empty void
Sound I hear
[PreChorus]
And nothing will remain
But a shell washed up on a shore
Bearing witness to a life long lost
[Chorus]
Lay down, lay down that cross you bear on your back
Banish the demons that sit on your neck
Don't let them continue to slam their claws deep into your flesh
And I know it's not easy for you
But not only you feel the pain
