What do you know of my heart
Of all its struggle with my head
I took a life to save my own
Now there's a devil in my bed
What do you know of this war
Of all the hope that's run dry
I took a life to save my own
And left my soul to slowly die
Lay down your gun
Before you lose your ground
Lay down your gun
Before it takes you down
Your heart will break
Painful and slow
Go on now go
Don't look at me and nod your head
Like you see what I see
Because your eyes were like mine
Before the demons were set free
Lay down your gun
Before you lose your ground
Lay down your gun
Oh leave this place
Before you lose your ground
Before it takes you down
Your heart will break
Painful and slow
Go on now go
Go on now go
Go on now go
The only way to understand
All this blood on my hands
Is to take my place
Bite down hard
Don't be scared oh oh
And don't you run
Lay down your gun
Before you lose your ground
Lay down your gun
Oh leave this place
Before you lose your ground
Before it takes you down
Your heart will break
Oh painful and slow
Go on now go, go on now go
Go on now go, go on now go
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Lay down your gun
Go on now go
