Keep It Down

To focus on the outside
 Is to betray what is within
 The helpless reductions
 Stops before you begin
 And I see what you are saying
 And I hope you change your mind
 The holes we dig are endless
 Growing over time
 I took the time to sit down but you were nowhere to be found
 Everybody's got something they're keeping in deep down
 It takes years to mend but who's got time right now?
 Keep it down, down
 I see you as you see me
 Holding on for life
 The strong heat in the darkness
 Penetrates the night
 And the questions you ask me
 Are ones I'd not hear
 The shadows of darkness
 Traits you should fear
 I took the time to sit down but you were nowhere to be found
 Everybody's got something they're keeping down
 It takes years to mend but who's got time right now?
 Keep it down, down
