Work Text:
Lay me down on a bed of blue roses
Hold my hand as I drown
Bring me to life with cruel devotion
Crying dead on the ground
This never ending tale of fate
Just leaves me here to suffocate
Alone, alone
And if you know I love you so then
Break my heart and break it slow
Oh, oh
And here we stand on this pedestal they put us on
Expecting us to stay there but I run, I run away
And there you stand on this throne that I have put you on
Forgetting that I promised to get on my knees and pray
Oh, oh, oh, lay me down and
Bring me to life
[Instrumental]
Bite me with the fangs of your glory,
Hate that I love the pain.
No one said that it’d be so lonely,
Fighting a war that you already know that you’ve lost-
And here we stand on this pedestal they put us on
Expecting us to stay there but you run, you run away
And there I stand on this high that you have put me on
Forgetting that you told me to go die another day.
Oh, oh, oh, lay me down and
Bring me to life
Have you heard the tale of the boy who fell in love
With the one that Heaven cast out?
He was oh-so-foolish to give away his heart
And now he’s here, broken soul, as he drowns
This never ending tale of fate
Just left him there to suffocate
Alone, alone
And if you knew he loved you so then
Why the hell did you let go
Oh, oh
And here they stand on this pedestal we put them on
Expecting them to stay as we run, we run away
And there we lie in this grave that we have dug ourselves
Blue roses on our battered bodies, you know what they say.
Oh, oh, oh, lay me down and
Bring me to life
Oh, oh, oh, lay me down and
Bring me to life
