Lyrics
Lay Me Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We are lost
Shaped by the rivers
The sky it burns
Hellfire red
These maddening, no-telling winds
They echo soft
Quietly whispering
Come lay me down
I've had enough
Lay me down
I've been hurt enough
How time runs on and on and
Lay me down
I've had enough
Distracting from
More meaningful things
The sooner done
The sooner I'll be free
Beyond the cries of seers and fools
A paradise, built on forgotten truths
So lay me down
I've had enough
Lay me down
I've been hurt enough
How time runs on and on and
Lay me down
I've had enough
Lay me down
I've had enough
Lay me down
I've been hurt enough
