Lay Me Down

This is it. What's left when your all but played out
so I'd understand if it makes you halfway as sick as I am
I understand

With every passing day the earth gets smaller and I drift further away
from the trail that I blazed when I made the mistake of thinking
I could be something great
Whipsers from the dirt rise up like coiling snakes they wrap their words around my neck; connections made, dreams are bled, and turned to rain
And everytime I think my feet might finally touch the ground
the earth below retreats and I'm left right here conversing with the desperate clouds
and they don't have that much to say, but when they talk it's loud
It hurts to have the sky inside your head when you can't make a sound

and I can't make a sound
I'm choking on the dust stirred up by buildings falling down
Disaster lay me down
Disaster lay me down

I don't know why after all this time I'm
still holding on to something that I've never really had
I guess its just because if I give up on this
it's like admitting that I never really stood a chance

consequence doesn't wait patiently in the wings for us to sing like swans
time goes on and on
and I've been swept away, like foot prints on the shore the bay,
strong when I was made but weak with every wave
until I am washed away
