I curse the years I let it lay

How I watched you fade to grey

Unable to break through the quiet

Could I take you by surprise

Or fi nd a way to thaw the ice

I wanted to stir up a riot mess

Although I dreamt it a thousand times

Although I scripted every line

You were bulletproof

I missed my cue

You hide yourself in a gilded cage

But your wine fueled fi ts of rage

Has left cracks in you

And you're shining through

Let me take it off, let mе lay it down

You're invincible and terrifiеd

Living on the stage you made

Hanging on to your charade

Portraying a role you invented

You stumble through a marathon

Hoping someone calls your con

Stuck in a frame you resented

You know I've seen your spider bite

Know how you cling to your kryptonite

And I'm on to you, I'm on

Let me take it off, let me lay it down

You're invincible and terrified

The walls you've built, the lakes we'll cry

I'll take it all, I'll let you fly

We take it off, we lay it down

Invincible and terrified

The walls we've built

The lakes we'll cry

We'll take it all

We'll make it right

We lay it down
