[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

To be trusting and fuelled by misdirection

To be innocent beyond recognition

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

[Chorus]

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

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

[Outro]

Stay down

This body

Has a mind

Of its own
