[Intro]
I am a dead man, I'm crawling into a trap
[Verse 1]
A horizontal response
I'm laying down for you once again
You've taken what's granted
I've said goodbye to my friends
I throw myself headfirst into this
Close the curtain and strand me
Found myself lost again
With even more excuses and even less concern
Bound and gagged but I enjoy it
You seduce your prisoner before you take your turn
[Chorus 1]
So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees
In the tall gra** where they won't find me
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens
They come back screaming, taking me away
I've given all I can give
[Verse 2]
So don't let me go back between Woodward and Ca**
Cracked concrete and broken gla**
This run down block with my name in lights
Your saving grace, my final rites
Eleven miles from where I was
When I conceded my head, embraced my lost control
Innocence in a state so pure
You hear the demons calling to take back what you stole
[Chorus 2]
So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees
In the tall gra** where they won't find me
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens
They come back screaming, taking me away
I lost a piece of myself and I forgot to slow down
And just breathe, and it's scaring me
I've given all I can give
So don't let me go
[Bridge]
I am a dead man, I am a dead man
And it's the only way it can end
(I am a dead man, I am a dead man, I am a dead man, I am a dead...)
Man!
Don't know whose side I'm on
Anymore
And there's no starting over
[Chorus 2]
So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees
In the tall gra** where they won't find me
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens
They come back screaming, taking me away
I lost a piece of myself and I forgot to slow down
And just breathe, and it's scaring me
I've given all I can give
So don't let me go
