Laid to Rest Lyrics
If there was a single day I could live…
A single breath I could take
I’d trade all the others away
The blood’s on the wall
So you’d might as well just admit it
And bleach out the stains
Commit to forgetting it
You’re better off empty and blank
Than left with a single, pathetic trace of this
Smother another failure
Lay this to rest
Console yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a f**k
Absorb yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself
I’ll chain you to the truth
For the truth shall set you free
I’ll turn the screws of vengeance
And bury you with honesty
I’ll make all your dreams come to life
Then slay them as quickly as they came
Smother another failure
Lay this to rest
Console yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a f**k
Absorb yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself
See who gives a f**k
See who gives a f**k
See who gives a f**k
Failure
If there was a day I could live
If there was a single breath I could take
I’d trade all the others away
I’d trade all the others away
