Lay To Waste

I'm looking for a chorus to capture the obscene

[The] way you’re torn in all directions by these currents underneath

Alone, your youthful spirit cries

As the beauty of the moment dies

But terrifyingly, it's you who's giving up on me

Open up your hungry heart, to fill with something clean

The numbing dose you favor

Is the crutch on which you lean

The glamour you idealize

The lies they tell between your thighs

You spiral down

You’re burning out

But you won't let me set you free

I say go on

There's a picture that hangs in my mind

As if our love didn't fade over time

When I could be strong and keep your world safe

But now I know it was only a

I have always loved you

I am not above you

Into these stars like worlds apart, I can show you a better way

But no one else can make you

You need yourself to save you

But you tear it down and throw me out 'til there's nothing left to say
