lay me down easy I know I've done wrong
I was out in the desert and planting head stones
you bought it, I stammered my way around love
I kindled the fires that burnt the embers above
lay me down ready with a sympathy wind
if I don't start to feel better I may do it all again
and it's the only way of making you talk
for it's the only way of making you talk
don't mention the scandal it pulls me in two
the lies I kept with me and the truth that you threw
I'm heady with darkness, don't perch on my throne
I never asked for your distance or for you to leave me alone
