Lay Me To Waste
Can't seem to shake the shadow
That's stapled to my feet
I've peeled it off so many times
But now it feels just like a part of me
Even surgery won't fix, oh well

Does it have a mind of it's own?
Am I giving it ideas?
Does it grow like cancer every time I close my eyes
And start to think
Of anything but you?
Can't tell

Lay me to waste, my heart is a crowded place
There's only room for one
Lay me to waste
My history's in the way of what I should become

I feel your freedom fighting
To detonate my soul
Your love is on the trigger
Mine is off holding on the safer things
Like what I used to be for so long
You're softly screamin' at me
My ears are hard to tame
They only listen when they wanna' hear
But hearing's just the start of it
'Cause now I must admit that I've been wrong

Lay me to waste, my heart is a crowded place
There's only room for one
Lay me to waste
My history's in the way of what I should become

What a mess I've made trying to save my face

Your love is on the trigger

Lay me to waste, my heart is a crowded place
There's only room for one
Lay me to waste
My history's in the way of what I should be
I should be
