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
