Lay Me Down Letra

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 you can see
All of this is yours

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

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

I had a dream about us where
We were two halves of a worm
Then I woke and you were there
Telling me nothing was 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!

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

Oh no, oh no
Don't fall away
Don't fall away
Don't fall away
