Lay Me Down

[Intro]
The sun was a flaming death star
On the day you were conceived
The sky shattered like a sheet of glass
And the waves were like mountains
And the mountains swallowed themselves
Fish crawled out from the boiling oceans
Birds fell from the sky bloated with their song
Trees felled themselves
And all the moon bugs in the long grass were buzzing
And all of this you shall inherit
As far as I can see
All of this is yours

[Verse 1]
I am hanging by the wire
I can't get much higher
I think we misunderstood
God's intentions are good
I am wading through the mire
And the world's on fire
This time it ended for good
Like they said it would

[Chorus]
Lay me down, I've got no end
Lay me down, my only friend
This leads nowhere, still I pretend
Lay me down, just like God meant

[Verse 2]
I had a dream about us where
We were two halves of a worm
Then I woke and you were there
Telling me nothing is wrong
Well ain't that just like us?
To destroy the things we love
Then you come back to me
You walk in and the clouds burst

[Chorus]
Lay me down, I've got no end
Lay me down, my only friend
This leads nowhere, still I pretend
Lay me down, just like God meant

[Bridge]
You're in the sun
In my dream
In my head
I lost my way

[Chorus]
Lay me down, I've got no end
Lay me down, my only friend
This leads nowhere, still I pretend
Lay me down, just like God meant

[Post-Chorus]
Oh no, oh no
Don't fall away
Oh no, oh no
Don't fall away
Oh no, oh no
Don't fall away
Don't fall away
Don't fall away
