Lay It All Down

lay it all down
tell yourself straight
scale the wall
built in haste

look inside
what is it you feel
is it nothing
or is it real

answer the questions
that your heart has
start a future
forget the past

moving fast
or stuck in slow
figure out
which way to go

lay it all down
tell yourself straight
scale the wall
seal your fate
