Lyrics
Lesser Plea
Bring it down my heart lower
South of center six feet under
And if your words were only weapons
life could be only shrapnel tatters
Bring it down tell me quicker
Load your burden on my shoulders
And if the words were only lies
like I some how did not deserve them
Chorus: Do you feel any better now, as you watch this, killing me
Does the pain feel a little lesser now as it flows like blood from me
Watch your step so you don’t cut yourself on these broken, parts of me
In this court that we all call a life I will help you to enter
A lesser plea
Bring it down see you falter
A blade withholding on the alter
And if the words could only come back
Would the action be less wounding
Bring it down tears of grieving
True repentance true receiving
And if “I’m sorry” could only mean more
Would the truth be less horrific
Chorus
Bring it down speak it softer
Sweet forgiveness clear like water
And can the words bring some relief
From the debt you couldn’t pay back
