She Lays Down

And she lays down

On her bedroom floor

The chemicals that make her laugh

Don't seem to be working anymore

She tries her best

But it hurts her chest

And even though her Sun is gone

She'd like to love her child nevertheless

My hair is brown

She's scared to touch

And she just wants to feel something

And I don't think that's asking for too much

And when I go to sleep

It's when she begins to weep

She's appalled by not loving me at all

She wears a frown and dressing gown

When she lays down

We got a plane

Oh, to see my dad again

She prayed that we'd fall from the sky

Simply to alleviate the pain

Over water

Over terrain

The engines all go bust, we turned to dust

And I've no reason to complain, yeah

And in the end, she chose cocaine

But it couldn't fix her brain

She's appalled, oh, she doesn't love me at all

She wears a frown and dressing gown

When she lays down

That was it
