lyrics

The added weight of a rusted halo feels like two-hundred pounds when you're ten feet in the ground
Craving comfort from concerns that capture anyone who's close
All along we ignored the warnings of the signs turned upside down, but still compassion can't be found
Burning up in your flame-laced lashes, your touch chills me to the bone

Another fly trapped tightly in your web
Another night I spent wasted
Dyin' in your bed
Dyin' in your bed

The seeds we've sown have yielded no fruit
Freezing layer of frost whispers woes and what you lost
I'm the dirt beneath the soles of your feet, stubborn soil of retreat
Hearts aren't fields and we're no farmers
Please put down that spade and hoe, there's no feeling that can be grown
I'm the roots trampled, crushed carelessly
Our harvest withering in the heat

Another fly trapped tightly in your web
Another night I spent wasted
Dyin' in your bed (dyin' in your bed)
Dyin' in your bed (dyin' in your bed)

Oh god will I ever sleep again
Take me some place darker
I can rest my head (dyin' in your bed)
I can rest my head (dyin' in your bed)

Another fly trapped tightly in your web
Another night I spent wasted
Dyin' in your bed, in your bed

Oh god will I ever sleep again
Take me some place darker
I can rest my head, my head

Dyin' in your bed
Dyin' in your bed
Dyin' in your bed
Dyin' in your bed
