Stay Lyrics

Lady Bones Stay

Stay for me I'm tired of singing to myself
And your applause is better for my health
Than all those days I've spent inside a dream
Trying to be you

Screaming like a child as I start to lose the world I knew
What am I talking about
Wish I would shut my mouth and keep my cool
But I'm too far along and home is so far gone
And so are you
All your problems seemed to melt into a smile
Keep pretending at least for a little while
I can't seem to find the will to try and care
Hell is in your body I've heard it's rude to stare

I feel my morals are slipping away from me
Remember your promise that all will be fine
Well you must have misspoke or just lost your mind
My superstitions are starting to breathe
As I sit here talking while you try to leave

But I want you to stop trying to pretend
The death of a culture is not worth a new fad
Debaser disgracer they're wearing your smile
Advice like toothache and dying in style
