Lie Down
Rasmus Hagen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not a single scratch everything seems unharmed
Thought I'd find some things but seems I've gone to far
Nothings changed but I can reconcile it all
Counting hours till I get to lie down
Hush my demons for a while now
Under surface I just need to lie down
Still my worries clear my mind again
Clear my mind again
Back to miss my bible drop it to the ground
Turn to bear my pieces but I'm lost not found
God is pushing out and walls are bursting down
I won't last much longer as I come undone
Counting hours till I get to lie down
Hush my demons for a while now
Under surface I just need to lie down
Still my worries clear my mind again
Won't you pray that he means let me lie down
Thinking that this time I won't let it come back
On my way I have found that I found it but I lost it
This time I won't let it come back
I won't let it come back
Counting hours till I get to lie down
Hush my demons for a while now
Under surface I just need to lie down
Still my worries clear my mind again
Clear my mind again
Under surface I just need to lie down
Still my worries clear my mind again
Clear my mind again
