Objects at rest, remain where they were set down
It's easy to wait, it's harder to chase it down
It's the law of the jungle, it's all in your hands
Can't break and run, til you learn how to stand
You'll never get it back if you stand around and watch it die

Staring at mirror like a window you can't see thru
Starting back me like there's something I'm supposed to do
Where's your inspiration? What you gonna change?
Who'll pull the plow when you finally take the reigns?
You can't raise it up, if you stand around and watch it die

I won't, I won't fade away
I won't, I won't fade away
While you stand around and watch it die

Wanna talk it out, you're the only one talking now
Taker keeps taking, but the giver's given out
Every word's a brick, you're building up a wall
Asking me for answers, but you heard em all
You can't raise it up, baby if you stand around and watch it die

I won't, I won't fade away
I won't fade away
I won't, I won't fade away
While you stand around and watch it die
