  • In the night I sit alone
    Lifeless to the world I know
    Faith loss long ago
    In this graveyard I'm calling home
    Carved into the stone
    A diary of broken bones and
    Words I should've known

    But this grave's too deep to ever make it up
    I'd do anything, anything
    Just to feel like I could reach the ground
    I'd do anything ,anything now
    To spread these wings somehow
    I scream these words so loud
    But they never make a sound

    I'm alive
    But I'm barely breathing now
    So place my heart under the ground
    Lay me down
    I'm alive
    But I'm barely breathing now
    So tread my lungs into the ground
    Lay me down

    In the night I sit alone
    The stars rain on the world below
    Beg me to explode
    'Cause these dreams I keep are nowhere to be found
    I'd do anything, anything just to stop
    This way from pressing down
    I'd do anything anything now
    To spread these wings somehow
    I scream these words so loud
    But they never make a sound

    I'm alive
    But I'm barely breathing now
    So place my heart under the ground
    Lay me down
    I'm alive
    But I'm barely breathing now
    So tread my lungs into the ground
    Lay me down

    Deep enough so that I'll never feel again
    From beneath and in chance in breaking scale
    I'm giving in
    All the promise of smiles and happiness
    That's a dream I'm not willing to admit
    I'm not ready yet
    To face regret
    No I'm not ready yet
    I'm not ready yet

    No
    No
    No

    I'd do anything now
    So spread these wings somehow
    I scream these words so loud
    But they never make a sound

    I'm alive
    But I'm barely breathing now
    So place my heart under the ground
    Lay me down
    I'm alive
    But I'm barely breathing now
    Tread my lungs into the ground
    Lay me down Writer/s: Adam Barrett Russell, Daniel Dean Marsala, Joshua James Wills, Philip Taylor Sneed, Ryan Thornton Phillips
