Lyrics

So… you’ve been counting up the years, yeah
You know, it’s hard to swallow all your fears, yeah
But you should have put it down
Yeah you should have put it down oh no

So… how’d they get into your mind, yeah
Did you wind around the dial?
Did you stumble to a smile oh no
He’s everybody’s sweetheart
But did he sell his soul just to play the part
And you would never testify
That your savior’s built on lies

Well you should have put it down
Yeah you could have put it down oh no
Is he burning as he sings?
See the wax upon his wings…

Did you take a final fall?
Did you overcome it all?
Did you see it through the mask?
Did you ever care to ask?
Did you follow packs of lies?
Did it make you all the wise?
Through a thousand hand shook deals
Never one of them was real
Are you sleeping through the night?
Are you giving up the fight?
When your life is up in flames
Now who’re you gonna blame?
Well you should have put it down
See the fire jump the line
Must have missed on all the signs
Well you could have put it down
