Lay Me To Rest

I think I'd drown inside your eyes
Get sucked into the endless skies I call your love
And purple patches stain my skin
You clear them off when you can't see where I end and they begin
I feel too much, so I'm always lacking words
Tied tongue, dry mouth, something I all too well but know
She used to write me poems everyday
Now the only time she writes is when she says to stay away

Wake up, your thoughts are scattered on the floor again
Can you please stay up?
I know I'm going under, and you know what happens then
So won't you lay me to rest?
'Cause I think my legs will crumble if I take another step
And I'm sick of being a mess
But I'm glad that I could be there and have held you while you wept
So won't you lay me to rest?

I still save my last breath for you
And throw my petals in this grave you wrote me through
Feed me your poison, tear me limb from limb
From my fingertips flow this broken song, and it's you it's hidden in
And I still wish you the best, although you sowed your curses in my soul
So they'll follow me, like you follow me, a bad taste on my tongue
Will tomorrow be some more sorrow and unravel me undone?

Wake up, your thoughts are scattered on the floor again
Can you please stay up?
I know I'm going under, and you know what happens then
So won't you lay me to rest?
'Cause I think my legs will crumble if I take another step
And I'm sick of being a mess
But I'm glad that I could be there and have held you while you wept
So won't you lay me to rest?
