You need a little makeup dear

To cover up all your stains

With another trick right here, yeah

You fool them all once again



You need a little emptiness

Before you know what is real

And take a little taste of wine, yeah

To give yourself half a chance



And when you're weak of holding on

Release your wayward soul



And with these treasures you have found

The broken pieces of your crown

It's time to lay your cross on down



(Lay it down)

And with this kingdom you have now

It's time to lay your cross on down

You better lay it down



You carry in a bright white lie

To cover up all your shame

You're gonna have to testify

To color in all your claims



And when you're weak of holding on

Release your wayward soul and

Spend your days not falling down

Before your empty idols

[Chorus]



Lay it down

(Lay it down)

Chorus



Lay it down

(Lay it down)

[Chorus]
