Lay Me Down

If the stars could talk, they’d say all sorts

Dreaming of a life outside these makeshift walls

I’m a far gone mess, I’ve left the world to guess

Gotta keep my mouth shut unless I confess

And now I breathe and it all slips out

Now you’re peering through the window with an open mouth

To catch a lie that I’ve held so high

But behind the window pane, is a grown mans’ cry

Lay me down

I deserve to hit the ground

Lay me down

I deserve to hit the ground

Take this burning heart, tear it all apart

Stick another nail in, take me back to the start

My blood runs black, and then runs cold

Bag me up and throw me in before I lose control

I’m drowning now

I’m drowning now

The weight around my ankles are pulling me down

I’m going down

I’m going down

It’s sink or swim

But I’m not sure how

Lay me down

I deserve to hit the ground

Lay me down

I deserve to hit the ground

Let me speak, let me speak

Oh, and these words, they need to breathe

If we fall then we all become what we fear we need

I’m so tired of saving myself

This time I won’t call for help

Lay me down, I’m gonna

Lay me down, I said

Lay me down, what?!

Lay me down

Lay me down

I deserve to hit the ground

Lay me down

I deserve to hit the ground
