lyrics

Lay me down on the dirty ground,
Speak your words,
Tell me things that I do not want to hear.

But it’s for my own good,
and it’s for your own good,
and it feels oh so good,
but who’s to say what’s good?

Help me now to reconcile
who I am with who I’m supposed to be.
Hear me out.
I swear to God the sunshine is coming soon,
just never soon enough.

Ever feel like we’re falling asleep with our eyes wide open?
Ever feel like we’re tumbling backwards in time?
Can you carry the weight of the world with your mind?
I’m hoping
that you’ll carry my name through the dark of the night.

We all have something sinister,
a mighty secret to undress.
You're just a riddle to caress until the sky falls down.
