lay it to rest (and move on)

 I get so lost in my head sometimes,

Convince myself that I might die, 

But what have I even done with this life?

Just been waiting for it to pass by,

Been telling myself these little white lies

Now I lay in a bed of cotton,

Made with mistruths I’ve forgotten.

Should lay it to rest, and move on - 

I’m cursed with these memories 

Still feel them strangle me,

But what can I do if I can’t breathe?

You were everything I thought I knew,

Turns out it was the fumes,

Of this glue holding me to you when I didn’t want to

Ripped my skin off a little bit,

Hurt a lot more than I’ll admit 

How’s it feel to finally win?

Guess you’d say we’ve been through a lot

So I drank enough for the two of us.

Now I tell too many stories

Walking through hell and feeling sorry

Should lay it to rest, and move on -

I’m cursed with these memories 

You’ve some kind of hold on me,

Aren’t we supposed to be free?

Forgot everything else I knew,

Trapped myself in this blue, 

They say I could get out if I really want to

But what is life without a little pain?

Like sunshine on a rainy day 

I get so lost in my head sometimes,

Convince myself that I might die, 

But what have I even done with this life?

Just been waiting for it to pass by,

Been telling myself these little white lies.

Now I lay in a bed of cotton,

Made with mistruths I’ve forgotten.

Should lay it to rest, and move on
