In the night I sit alone
Lifeless to the world I know
Faith lost long ago
In this graveyard I'm calling home
Carved into the stone
A diary of broken bones and
Words I should've known
But this grave's too deep to ever make it up
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 scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound
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 explode
But these dreams I keep are nowhere 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 scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound
I'm alive
But Im barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down
I'm alive
But Im barely breathing now
So drag my lungs into the ground
Lay me down
Deep enough so that I'll never feel again
From beneath and in chance in breaking scale
I'm giving in
All the promise of smiles and happiness
That'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
So spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound
I'm alive
But Im barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down
I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
Tread my lungs into the ground
Lay me down

Lifeless to the world I know
Faith lost long ago

Carved into the stone
A diary of broken bones and

So drag my lungs into the ground
