Lay Me To Waste Lyrics

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
