Lyrics
Something is eating at my feet Holding me back at every step They tell me not to breathe a word She gives me a vow that must be kept You know that I’m only just a boy Barely five years of age The secret you load upon my shoulder Is worthy of any grown man’s rage Oh I wanna lay me down Oh I wanna lay me down Too weary to rest, too tired to sleep Oh I wanna lay me down Sometimes I wonder if the blanket That I must kick off of my bare feet Is a prison of artificial making A courtyard for a veritable feast Oh I wanna lay me down Oh I wanna lay me down Too weary to rest, too tired to sleep Oh I wanna lay me down You know that I’m only just a boy And the innocence you took away from me Is the only thing I brought into this world And its only the truth that sets me free Oh I wanna lay me down Oh I wanna lay me down Too tired to sleep, too weary to rest Oh I wanna lay me down
