[Verse 1]

I will make and burn an effigy

Of everything I loved and used to be

I will burn it to the ground

And hope the light will turn you 'round

[Chorus 1]

Just please

Lay your hands

Lay your hands

Lay your hands on me

Just

Lay your hands

Lay your hands

Lay your hands on me

[Verse 2]

There is skin and there is ground

A heart breaks with a deafening sound

In the silence left behind

You tell me I am not your kind

[Chorus 2]

But lay me down

Lay your hands

Lay your hands on me

Please lay your hands

Lay your hands

Lay your hands on me

[Verse 3]

My ribcage strains against my skin

Tries to contain what it's been holding in

With a split and a crack and a tear

I will meet you there

I will meet you there

[Chorus 3]

Just lay your hands

Lay your hands

Lay your hands on me

Please lay your hands

Lay your hands

Lay your hands on me

[Breakdown]

Won't you lay

Won't you lay your hands on me?

Won't you lay

Won't you lay your hands on me?

(Won't you lay) Won't you lay

(Won't you lay your hands on me) Lay your hands on me

(Won't you lay) Won't you lay

(Won't you lay your hands on me) Lay your hands on me

(Won't you lay) Won't you lay

(Won't you lay your hands on me) Lay your hands on me

(Won't you lay) Won't you lay

(Won't you lay your hands on me) Lay your hands

Lay your hands

Lay your hands on me
