Lay To Waste Lyrics - Singles - Trapdoor Social

I'm looking for a chorus that can 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 

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 

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 waste 

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
