Lay to Waste

I’m looking for a chorus to capture the obscene
way you’re torn in all directions by these currents underneath
Alone, your youthful spirit cries
As the beauty of the moment dies
But terrifyingly, it’s you who’s giving up on me
I say go on
Do dododo do do dodododo x4
Open up your hungry heart, to fill with something clean
The numbing dose you favor
Is the crutch on which you lean
The glamour you idealize
The lies they tell between your thighs
You spiral down
You’re burning out
But you won’t let me set you free
I say go on
Do dododo do do dodododo (x4)
There’s a picture that hangs in my mind
As if our love didn’t fade over time
When I could be strong and keep your world safe
But now I know it was only a…
I have always loved you
I am not above you
Into these stars like worlds apart, I can show you a better way
But no one else can make you
You need yourself to save you
But you tear it down and throw me out 'til there’s nothing left to say
But go on with your life
Sure I’ll fade in time
Go on with your life
Sure I’ll fade in time
Go on, lay to waste your life
Sure I’ll fade away in time
We took the long way over to the coast
We dug up seashells until the tide rose
A pretty picture that hangs in my mind
As if our love didn’t fade over time
And I still feel it, our toes in the sand
A chilly breeze and you’re holding my hand
When I could be strong and keep your world safe
But now I know it was only a waste
