Why can't we just take things down?

I can't seem to get things right

Is it possible I have a way to kill life?

I pick up the pieces, and run away

Can I lay down? Won't make a sound

Everyone needs a place to hide

To face the change that comes to light

Bury the hopeless sound

Rise up, and push it down

Take my hand, feel the woe

Hold it tight, don't let go

Slipping into an empty hole

Hell's not too far behind, just take a hold

Can I lay down? Won't make a sound

Everyone needs a place to hide

To face the change that comes to light

Afraid to break, and do what's right

Don't play dead, just wake up

Just wake up

Can I lay down? won't make a sound

Everyone needs a place to hide

To face the change that comes to light

Afraid to break, and do whats right

Don't play dead, just wake up

Just wake up
