[Intro]

The sun was a flaming death star

On the day you were conceived

The sky shattered like a sheet of glass

And the waves were like mountains

And the mountains swallowed themselves

Fish crawled out from the boiling oceans

Birds fell from the sky bloated with their song

Trees felled themselves

And all the moon bugs in the long grass were buzzing

And all of this you shall inherit

As far as I can see

All of this is yours

[Verse 1]

I am hanging by the wire

I can't get much higher

I think we misunderstood

God's intentions are good

I am wading through the mire

And the world's on fire

This time it ended for good

Like they said it would

[Chorus]

Lay me down, I've got no end

Lay me down, my only friend

This leads nowhere, still I pretend

Lay me down, just like God meant

[Verse 2]

I had a dream about us where

We were two halves of a worm

Then I woke and you were there

Telling me nothing is wrong

Well ain't that just like us?

To destroy the things we love

Then you come back to me

You walk in and the clouds burst

[Chorus]

Lay me down, I've got no end

Lay me down, my only friend

This leads nowhere, still I pretend

Lay me down, just like God meant

[Bridge]

You're in the sun

In my dream

In my head

I lost my way

[Chorus]

Lay me down, I've got no end

Lay me down, my only friend

This leads nowhere, still I pretend

Lay me down, just like God meant

[Post-Chorus]

Oh no, oh no

Don't fall away

Oh no, oh no

Don't fall away

Oh no, oh no

Don't fall away

Don't fall away

Don't fall away
