Lay Me Down

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

You may know my life outside these makeshift walls

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

Gotta keep my mouth shut, lest 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 felt so high

But behind the window pane is a grown man's 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 needle, take me back to the start

My blood runs black and then runs cold

Burn me up and throw me in before I lose control

I'm drowning now, I'm drowning now

The weight round my ankles are pulling me down

I'm going down, I'm going now

Let's take a 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, these words, they need to breathe

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

Don't talk to your own shame and lock down

This time I won't go far out

Lay me down

I'm gonna lay me down

I said lay me down

Or lay me down

Lay me down

I deserve to hit the ground

Lay me down

I deserve to hit the ground
