Down. can you take it slow
Get back on the ground
There's not enough rope
Stress. passed on like your name
Now you wake so tired
Take it. hand it down like a weight
Now you wake so tired
Take it. hand it down like a weight
Now you wake so tired
Stress. passed on like your name
Now you wake so tired
