Stay Down (June 5, 2018 demo)
[Verse 1: Baker]
Wasn't a fighter 'til somebody told me
I had better learn to lean into the punch
So it don't hurt as bad when they leave
There you were, turning your cheek
I look at you and you look at a screen
I'm in the back seat of my body
I'm just steering my life in a video game
Different acts and a similar name

[Refrain: Baker]
It's a slow down

[Verse 2: All, Baker]
So would you teach me I'm the villain, aren't I?
Aren't I the one constantly repentin' for a difficult mind?
Push me down into the water like a sinner, hold me under
I'll never come up again

[Refrain: All]
I'll just stay down

[Bridge: Baker, All]
'Cause it's a half-life, it's a fallout
It takes so long for me to settle down
And when I finally do, there's no one else around
[Refrain: Baker, All]
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
