so i lay me down...

Sleep, like lovers do.
Sleep, like lovers do.
This life-giving grave; I lay myself down for you.
Sleep, like lovers do.

So much better now than where I used to be.
My heart's been bought and sold before; a pound of flesh for the lobbyists
and all those politicians - political loves - promising a life to me
they could never give at all.

So I lay me down
to die so that i might come alive somehow.
All that I have, I give;
these pieces, that I might be made whole again.

Sleep, like lovers do.
Sleep, like lovers do.
This life-giving grave; I lay myself down for you.
Sleep, like lovers do.
