Kinghorse:Lay Down And Die

From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History

LAY DOWN AND DIE
lyrics by Brett Ralph
Sometimes when I'm feeling lonesome and low, and there's no one to talk to and there's no place to go... When you're too weak to shake it, and you're too strong to cry, sometimes you just want to lay right down and die. The sun brings no warmth although it's shining bright. You feel drugged down in the daytime and you're so torn up at night. And the worst part about it is you don't even know why. But sometimes you just want to lay down and die. You go to bed wondering why God created man You decide for yourself that creation was the original sin. You get up in the morning and you break up all over again. The trees are no longer tombstones and smiles aren't knives. You don't hate your fellow man for their pathetic little lives. You've resigned yourself to just getting by... But sometimes you just want to lay down and die. The most terrible sound you've ever heard is the ringing of the phone And a smile from a stranger cuts you right to the bone. You get to feeling so violent that you hope everyone just leaves you alone.
