You gave me something that I didn't expect

You showed your hand and now it's time to get wrecked

The sidewalk cracks your head so gently

Lay it down to rest

You gave me something that I couldn't believe

The words that came so honestly

There's blood on your lips and you still can't see

The ambulance shine so beautifully



Lay it down

I'll say goodbye in the morning

Lay it down

And you'll be sorry that you spoke

It's too hard to be true

Too late for raising hopes



He showed you something that you never needed

He just wanted you to see him bleeding

Turn your eyes from such a sight

Never look again

You're back in town at such an early hour

You see his wife behind the counter

Listen as she lets you know

Swallow as she chokes



And the colors look so beautiful

As you stare up from the ground

You hear the feet of the passerby

And vomit from the sound



I take a look at what you instigated

A couple thousand miles later

My seat back's up I'm coming down

I lay it all to rest
