[al:] |
| [00:16.04] |
I am a dead man, I'm crawling into a trap |
| [00:20.36] |
A horizontal response |
| [00:22.22] |
I'm laying down for you once again |
| [00:25.78] |
You've taken what's granted |
| [00:28.24] |
I've said goodbye to my friends |
| [00:30.14] |
I throw myself headfirst into this |
| [00:33.63] |
Close the curtain and strand me |
| [00:36.04] |
Found myself lost again |
| [00:39.34] |
With even more excuses and even less concern |
| [00:43.96] |
Bound and gagged but I enjoy it |
| [00:47.42] |
You seduce your prisoner before you take your turn |
| [00:54.20] |
So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees |
| [00:58.07] |
In the tall grass where they won't find me |
| [01:02.23] |
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens |
| [01:05.46] |
They come back screaming, taking me away |
| [01:10.21] |
I've given all I can give |
| [01:12.18] |
So don't let me go back between |
| [01:15.59] |
Woodward and Cass |
| [01:17.60] |
Cracked concrete and broken glass |
| [01:21.67] |
This run down block with my name in lights |
| [01:24.89] |
Your saving grace, my final rites |
| [01:29.64] |
Eleven miles from where I was |
| [01:33.17] |
When I conceded my head, embraced my lost control |
| [01:37.74] |
Innocence in a state so pure |
| [01:41.15] |
You hear the demons calling to take back what you stole |
| [01:47.95] |
So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees |
| [01:51.78] |
And the tall grass where they won't find me |
| [01:55.90] |
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens |
| [01:59.15] |
They come back screaming, taking me away |
| [02:03.82] |
I lost a piece of myself and I forget to slow down |
| [02:07.88] |
And just breathe, and it's scaring me |
| [02:11.73] |
I've given all I can give |
| [02:14.03] |
So don't let me go |
| [02:15.98] |
I am a dead man, I am a dead man |
| [02:19.70] |
And it's the only way it can end |
| [02:39.86] |
I don't know who's side I'm on anymore |
| [02:48.42] |
And there's no starting over |
| [02:53.12] |
So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees |
| [02:57.24] |
And the tall grass where they won't find me |
| [03:01.22] |
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens |
| [03:04.73] |
They come back screaming, taking me away |
| [03:09.34] |
I lost a piece of myself and I forget to slow down |
| [03:13.30] |
And just breathe, and it's scaring me |
| [03:17.31] |
I've given all I can give |
| [03:19.37] |
So don't let me go |
