Lay Me Down To Sleep

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

Can't see straight
I lay awake
And hope the Lord will take me away
I've lived thousands of days
Finding ways to end the pain

Illness taking me away
Lights taken away my life
Drugs are coursing through my veins
Lay in bed and count the days

I'm taking drugs
And your counting dollars
Your Living your life
While I'm living somber

18 years?
I drink 18 beers
To fight away the years
Of my cruelest fears

Wanna be like me?
Live life suffering
Through all the hate and greed
Then cry and beg and plead
Are you even listening
To what I'm trying to bring
To what I'm trying to sing
Do you hear a thing?

I sit here writing every single syllable
Trying to make myself able to be understandable
Making life turn out to be a fucking Liverpool
Never dreamed of life being so fucking miserable

This life's a masquerade
Writing off the days
Running out of time
I will not survive
But I can save a life
Death moves with strife
Maybe one day you'll see
Life's not what it seems

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

Now I lay me down to sleep
Never cry and never weep
Close my eyes up nice and tight
Shut out the world through morning light
Just can't stand the stress and anger
Live my life like I'm in danger
Run, don't look back at the darkness
I am the devil's power harnessed

Shut everyone out and pop the Molly's
Fuck living life all holly jolly
Learn to shut off my emotions
And setting the ball into motion
Breaking my mind
About fucking time
My life's a walking crime
Quiet like a mime

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
