The Plan Remembered

Drop

Stand up

Stand up

Verse 1

Empty bottles in the yard

I stayed up playing every card

Cracked my hands on local kids

Chain me to the basement door

Gasps for air while I hit the floor

Pre-Chorus

Seven times the blade went in

Seven scars I let them win

Memory is moving slow

Everything I used to know

Chorus

I forgot what I agreed to

Long ago before the fall

I forgot what I agreed to

Now I answer when it calls

Anchors down and shields up high

Until the big show in the sky

Drop

Stand up

Stand up

With my brothers and my sisters

Verse 2

Buried friends under the hill

Prison walls are keeping still

Blood is stained upon the grain

Things I simply won't explain

I was dark and I was light

Two halves fighting every night

Pre-Chorus

Still when morning came around

I did right where I could stand

Gave my share of hurt and grace

Looking back at either face

Chorus

I forgot what I agreed to

Long ago before the fall

I forgot what I agreed to

Now I answer when it calls

Anchors down and shields up high

Until the big show in the sky

Drop

Stand up

Stand up

With my brothers and my sisters

Bridge

Chained me

Cut me

Buried me in silence

I crawled out remembering the plan

The plan

The plan

I said yes once

I say yes again

Chorus

I forgot what I agreed to

Long ago before the fall

I forgot what I agreed to

Now I answer when it calls

Anchors down and shields up high

Until the big show in the sky

Drop

Stand up

Stand up

With my brothers and my sisters

Anchors

Shields

Anchors

Shields
