Lay down

Lay down
Speechless, but the answers in my mouth
Breathless, the emotions seeping out
Beyond my control
You spoke to my silence, and asked
Why so cold?

You ask for peace, I give you war
While you let go, I hold too tightly
I take my aim, you hit the floor,
I'm not ready to,
Lay down my arms
Cracking, my defences breaking down
The unravelling, of a rope I put around me
You wont take no for an answer
You ask for peace, I give you war
While you let go, I hold too tightly
I take my aim, you hit the floor,
I'm not ready to,
Lay down my arms
I didn't know I was missing out, 'til you lost and I, I won
You made me realise my incompleteness alone
Can no longer live by candlelight
When you show me the sun
You ask for peace, I give you war
While you let go, I hold too tightly
I take my aim, you hit the floor,
I'm not ready to,
Lay down my arms
