In the night I sit alone Lifeless to a world I know Faith lost long ago In this graveyard, I'mm calling home Carved into the stone A diary of broken bones And words I should ignore
But this grave's too deep to ever make it out I'd do anything anything Just to feel like I could reach the ground I'd do anything anything now To spread these wings somehow I'd scream these words so loud But they never make a sound
(Chorus) I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now So place my heart under the ground Lay me down I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now So drag my lungs into the ground Lay me down
In the night I sit alone The stars rain on the world below Beg me to explore
Cause these dreams I keep are no where to be found I'd do anything anything Just to stop this weight from pressing down I'd do anything anything now To spread these wings somehow I'd scream these words so loud But they never make a sound
(Chorus) I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now So place my heart under the ground Lay me down I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now So drag my lungs into the ground Lay me down (Lay Me Down)
Deep enough so that I'll never feel again Far beneath any chance of breaking skin I'm giving in Under promise of smiles and happiness It's a dream I'm not willing to admit I?m not ready yet to face regret No I'm not ready yet I?m not ready yet No, no, no
I'd do anything now To spread these wings somehow I'd scream these words so loud But they never make a sound
(Chorus) I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now So place my heart under the ground Lay me down I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now Drag my lungs into the ground Lay me down
