Silverstein - A Midwestern State Of Emergency lyrics

I am a dead man, I'm crawling into a trap 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] 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 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] So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees And 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 forget to slow down And just breathe, and it's scaring me I've given all I can give So don't let me go I am a dead man, I am a dead man And it's the only way it can end I don't know who's side I'm on anymore And there's no starting over [Chorus]
