Taken Down (Marfa Demo)

I don't want to be taken down
I could rest without coming up dry
Leaving so little room for them
We often see enough purpose besides

Do a little praying, worth a little try
A fallen defense is fine
Try another plan, giving up the time
There's no sense in it when we hide

I want to make sure I've tidied up
Then lock the doors, pull the shades down and cry
We may not be back for ages
And those ages are something I don't understand

If this little week was a long year
Who's to say, my dear
Totally agree, everything is worse
But I know we've got more to go

Won't you leave now, soon enough
Not fast enough for me
We cannot take this so easy
Others will see it, all right
I don't want to push back these lies

Often I find myself biting my tongue making sure that we are feeling fine
Things may not be so easy for some
I don't want it to feel so contrived

Beginning of the day, using up the time
We'll want tomorrow, decline
Passing up a chance, putting on a smile
I see through with all, by and by

I don't want to be taken down
I keep on trying to do all this time
Making me wander around without plans
I don't want to keep being so blind

You're a little late
I'm a little tired
We've been doing this for a while
Totally agree, everything is worse
I hope we've got more to go

Won't you leave now soon enough
Not fast enough for me
We cannot take this so easy
Others will see it, all right
I don't want to push back these lies
