Lying Down

I’d hate to lie down I’d hate to lie Again Like I did once before Like I should have never done Shouldn’t have Regret Haunting my mind Lie down like a corpse Giving up Giving up all hope All fate, all destiny Never escaping This life This death I’d hate to lie down my life, Like a corpse, motionless, Waiting for the mortician To take me Make me, pretty Prepare me for the end I’d scream and thrash and tell them I’m not dead yet Keep me here Keep me here, for a while longer My soul is crippled but not dead, Not dead, Never dead, Hope comes with faith Faith comes from my heart My heart still beats Thumping, Thump, Thump.
