You need a little makeup dearnTo cover up all your stainsnWith another trick right here, yeahnYou fool them all once againnYou need a little emptinessnBefore you know what is realnAnd take a little taste of wine, yeahnTo give yourself half a chancenAnd when you're weak of holding onnRelease your wayward soulnnAnd with these treasures you have foundnThe broken pieces of your crownnIt's time to lay your cross on down (Lay it down)nAnd with this kingdom you have nownIt's time to lay your cross on downnYou better lay it downnnYou carry in a bright white lienTo cover up all your shamenYou're gonna have to testifynTo color in all your claimsnAnd when you're weak of holding onnRelease your wayward soul andnSpend your days not falling downnBefore your empty idolsnnChorusnnAnd when you're weak of holding onnRelease you wayward soul nOn your walk to surround yourselfnWith rightful idolsnnChorusnnLay it downn(Lay it down)nnChorus
