[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
