Put The Camera Down

Put the camera down You don't need to justify every single turn You don't need apologize after every word Give them grief or give them grace Give them nothing, take the praise It'll come together by and by Put the camera down You don't have to be unarmed but put away that knife There's no sound in our alarm, just a silent light And you tell me how I failed And I'll tell you once again It'll come together by and by Always chasing the same lead, the same old cobbled streets Always barely head above the water Always balancing the short end of the final straw Always just an inch above the gutter So is this it? At you fingertips is a world in a cage Tell me something, say something you couldn't tell me But you tend to recommend truth And without breaking no sweat, no plates The disguises The disguise has The disguise has eyes Put the camera down You don't need to second-guess every fickle itch You don't need to disavow every bygone stitch Give them grief or give them grace Give them nothing, take the praise It'll come together by and by --- Put the Camera Down - Sondre Lerche
