Երգի խոսքեր
[Intro] Akai on the table Dust in the light I came in carrying Too much weight tonight [Verse 1] Hands on the case Like it held my name Old wood, old scars Same room, new frame I let the first note Sit down in my chest Mallets on the rim Like a slow request The bass walked heavy With a patient thumb I set down the worry One by one by one [Pre-Chorus] And if you hear me lean I’m learning how to rest I was all sharp edges Now I’m softer than the best Mmh, I’m softer than the best Mmh, I’m softer than the best [Chorus] Lay it down Lay it down I don’t need that weight now Lay it down Lay it down Let it leave my hands now (leave it here) (leave it here) [Dedication 1] For my mother Who kept the door warm For every hard night That I made look small For the plate left waiting For the name still called I’m here, I’m here I’m here through it all [Verse 2] Rhodes in the corners Like a church window glow Horn pads breathing In and out, real slow I tried to outrun What I had to feel But the room got quiet And the wound went still So I spoke my truth In a half-sung line No crown, no parade Just borrowed time And the beat kept time Like a faithful friend Saying, “set it down” Then begin again [Pre-Chorus] And if my voice cracks Let it crack like rain A little broken open Can still carry grace Mmh, still carry grace Mmh, still carry grace [Chorus] Lay it down Lay it down I don’t need that weight now Lay it down Lay it down Let it leave my hands now (leave it here) (leave it here) [Dedication 2] For the brother lost To the long dark road For the empty chair And the untold load I light this small flame In the center of me Say your name soft Let it set you free [Bridge] I was built from pressure From the push and pull From the cracked old cups And the too-full skull But mercy found me In a low-lit room In a drumskin breath And a minor bloom So I unclench slow Let the whole thing fall What I kept inside Wasn’t mine at all [Dedication 3] For the kid still standing At the edge of the day For the hands still shaking Looking for a way You don’t have to earn The right to breathe Put it down with me Put it down with me [Final Chorus] Lay it down Lay it down I don’t need that weight now Lay it down Lay it down Let it leave my hands now Lay it down Lay it down I can hear the room clear (leave it here) (leave it here)
