Lay Me Down
I ask for the sun. I wait for the rain. Time passes and still I choose to delay a truth in my mind - the last of it's kind - betrayed by a fictional frame of regret.
A rose in my arms. A thorn my side. A gift to reveal the guilt that I hide. A battle of one - no winners as such. Forced to disagree to agree with myself.
If I had just been brave your pretty mind would be saved. Now I risk being replaced.
Lay me down and answer to yourself
Away from me ‘til I am something else
Lay me down, drown me out, be the one with the strength to make me become strong
And lay me down and answer to yourself
Your name I call. My world you ignore. Forever it seems since you've knocked on my door.
At my request - but why'd you agree? I choose to lay blame on the one that I need.
Lay me down and answer to yourself
Away from me ‘til I am something else
Lay me down, drown me out, be the one with the strength to make me become strong
And lay me down and answer to yourself
Well it's a lonely way - to be a sole disciple on the other side of town
Well it's a lonely way - to be a sole disciple on the other side of town
Won't you lay me down and answer to yourself
Just lay me down ‘til I am something else
Lay me down, drown me out, be the one with the strength to make me become strong
And lay me down and answer to yourself
Won't you lay me, lay me down
Won't you lay me, lay me, lay me down
