In  the night I sit alone
 Lifeless to the world  I know
 Faith loss long ago
 In this graveyard I'm calling  home
 Carved into the stone
 A diary of broken bones  and
 Words I should've known
 But this grave's  too deep to ever make it up
 I'd do anything, anything
Just  to feel like I could reach the ground
 I'd do anything, anything now
 To spread these wings somehow
 I scream these words  so loud
 But they never make  a sound
I'm  alive
 But I'm barely  breathing now
 So place my heart under  the ground
Lay  me down
I'm  alive
 But I'm barely  breathing now
 So drag my lungs into  the ground
Lay  me down
In  the night I sit alone
 The stars rain on the world  below
 Beg me to explode
 Cuz dreams  I keep are nowhere to be found
 I'd do anything, anything just  to stop
 This weight from pressing down
 I'd do anything anything now
 To spread these wings somehow
 I scream these words  so loud
 But they never make  a sound
I'm  alive
 But I’m barely  breathing now
 So place my heart under  the ground
Lay  me down
I'm  alive
 But I’m barely  breathing now
 So drag my lungs into  the ground
Lay  me down
Deep  enough so that I'll never feel again
 From beneath and in chance in breaking skin
 I'm giving in
 All the promise of smiles and happiness
 That's a dream I'm not willing to admit
 I'm not ready yet
 To face regret
 No I'm not ready yet
 I'm not ready yet
No..
 I'd do anything now
 So spread these wings  somehow
 I scream these words  so loud
 But they never make  a sound
I'm  alive
 But I'm barely  breathing now
 So place my heart under the ground
Lay  me down
I'm  alive
 But I'm barely  breathing now
 Tread my lungs into  the ground
Lay  me down

[A]In the night I sit [C#]alone
Lifeless to the w[A]orld I know
Faith loss long [C#]ago
In this graveyard I'm [A]calling home
Carved into the [C#]stone
A diary of broken [A]bones and
Words I should've [C#]known

But this [A]grave's too deep to ever make it [C#]up

I'd do anything, anything
[A]Just to feel like I could reach the [C#]ground
I'd do anything, anything [B]now
To spread these [A]wings [B]somehow
I scream these [A]words so [B]loud
But they never [A]make a [B]sound

[Ab]I'm alive
But I'm [A]barely breathing [E]now
So place my heart [Ab]under the ground
[A]Lay me [E]down
[Ab]I'm alive
But I'm [A]barely breathing [E]now
So drag my lungs [Ab]into the ground
[A]Lay me [E]down

[A]In the night I sit [C#]alone
The stars rain on the [A]world below
Beg me to [C#]explode
Cuz d[A]reams I keep are nowhere to be f[C#]ound
I'd do anything, anything j[A]ust to stop
This weight from pressing d[C#]own
I'd do anything anything [B]now
To spread these w[A]ings [B]somehow
I scream these w[A]ords so [B]loud
But they never [A]make a [B]sound

[Ab]I'm alive
But I’m [A]barely breathing [E]now
So place my heart [Ab]under the ground
[A]Lay me [E]down
[Ab]I'm alive
But I’m [A]barely breathing [B]now
So drag my lungs in[Ab]to the ground
[A]Lay me [E]down

[C#]Deep enough so that I'll never feel again
From beneath and in chance in breaking [B]skin
I'm giving [C#]in

All the promise of smiles and happiness
That's a dream I'm not willing to [B]admit
I'm not ready [A]yet
To face r[B]egret
No I'm not ready [A]yet
I'm not ready [E]yet
[F#]No..      [A]

I'd do anything [B]now
So spread these [A]wings some[B]how
I scream these [A]words so [B]loud
But they never [A]make a [B]sound

[Ab]I'm alive
But I'm [A]barely breathing [E]now
So place my heart under the [Ab]ground
[A]Lay me [B]down
[Ab]I'm alive
But I'm [A]barely breathing [E]now
Tread my lungs in[Ab]to the ground
[A]Lay me [E]down
