Sleep never finds me

Only sits beside me

 And we talk about whats keeping us up

Just one word out of your mouth

 Could sooth my heart and end this drought

 So send your rains and lay me down

 I'm glad to say I haven't changed

 Yet sad to say so much has stayed the same

 The Broken heart that still remains

Dont let this fancy tombstone fool your eyes

I tried living for love but it let me die

Sleep never finds me

 Only sits beside me

When I need you the most

 Well theres saftey in numbers

 But I always find myself alone

Its just me here with your ghost

And this cage of ribs that hide my heart

 Was built to last but fell apart

 And now I___Lay___Open

Am i winding up a toy

Instead of building my own engine?

Its the question I wont seem to ask

And if im racing am i first or last?

Am I on the final lap and will this circle end in a crash?

Well hearts like yours-everybeat goes on

To the rythem of a vagrant song

That i was deaf to all along

Well dont let my words make you think

That I'm doing fine

I'd walk to world for you

Now I walk the line

Sleep never finds me

Only sits beside me

When I need you the most

Well theres saftey in numbers

But I always find myself alone

Its just me here with your ghost

And this cage of ribs that hide my heart

Was built to last but fell apart

And now I___Lay___Open....
