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
