Put The Camera Down

[Verse 1] 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 praise Give them nothing take the praise It'll come together by and by [Verse 2] 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 life And you tell me how I fail And I'll tell you once again It'll come together by and by [Bridge] 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 your fingertips Is a world in a cage Tell me something Say something you couldn't tell me (Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me) But you tend to recommend true And without breaking a sweat No plates The disguises, the disguises, the disguises [Verse 3] Put the camera down You don't need to second guess every fickle itch You don't need to disavow every bygone stitched Give them grief or give them grace Give them nothing take the praise It'll come together by and by
