In the night I sit alone
Lifeless to a world I know
Faith lost long ago
In this graveyard, I’m calling home
Carved into the stone
diary of broken bones
And words I should ignore

But this graves too deep to ever make it out
I’d do anything anything
Just to feel like I could reach the ground
I’d do anything anything now
To spread these wings somehow
I’d scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound
 [bad word] I’m alive, but I’m barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down
I’m alive, but I’m barely breathing now
So drag my lungs into the ground
Lay me down

In the night I sit alone
The stars rain on the world below
Beg me to explore

Cause these dreams I keep are no where to be found
I’d do anything anything
Just to stop this weight from pressing down
I’d do anything anything now
To spread these wings somehow
I’d scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound
 [bad word] I’m alive, but I’m barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down
I’m alive, but I’m barely breathing now
So drag my lungs into the ground
Lay me down
(Lay Me Down)

Deep enough so that
I’ll never feel again
Far beneath any chance of breaking skin
I’m giving in
Under promise of smiles and happiness
It’s a dream I’m not willing to admit
I’m not ready yet to face regret
No I’m not ready yet
I’m not ready yet
No, no, no

I’d do anything now
To spread these wings somehow
I’d scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound
 [bad word] I’m alive, but I’m barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down
I’m alive, but I’m barely breathing now
Drag my lungs into the ground
Lay me down
