silverstein - a midwestern state of emergency lyrics

Loading...

i am a dead man, i’m crawling into a trap

a horizontal response
i’m laying down for you once again
you’ve taken what’s granted
i’ve said goodbye to my friends
i throw myself headfirst into this
close the curtain and strand me

found myself lost again
with even more excuses and even less concern
bound and gagged but i enjoy it
you seduce your prisoner before you take your turn

[chorus]
so lay me down in the field and put me under the trees
in the tall gr-ss where they won’t find me
enjoying silence and peace until the sirens
they come back screaming, taking me away
i’ve given all i can give

so don’t let me go back between woodward and c-ss
cracked concrete and broken gl-ss
this run down block with my name in lights
your saving grace, my final rites
eleven miles from where i was
when i conceded my head, embraced my lost control
innocence in a state so pure
you hear the demons calling to take back what you stole

[chorus]
so lay me down in the field and put me under the trees
and the tall gr-ss where they won’t find me
enjoying silence and peace until the sirens
they come back screaming, taking me away
i lost a piece of myself and i forget to slow down
and just breathe, and it’s scaring me
i’ve given all i can give
so don’t let me go

i am a dead man, i am a dead man
and it’s the only way it can end
i don’t know who’s side i’m on anymore
and there’s no starting over

[chorus]
