Lyrics

I lay me down
You've read my pages
You've read the words sprawled across
The realms of my imagination
I let me go
I let me fall down
Into the warmth of surrender
Stir up these embers again
I've journeyed on
So hard and fast
I need the old to be swallowed whole
To begin again
So burn me up, burn me up
Burn me up, burn me up
I lay them out
These words I've written
These phrases strung together by
The endless people knocking on my doors
If I begin again
I first must end
Into the ashes
Here I come to crash it all
And let it burn
Let my story told
Go up in flames
'Cause I want to go up, not down again
In this endless race
Now burn me up, burn me up
Burn me up, burn me up
See if I stand
See if I rise up again
But hold my hand
Hold my hand
Spark it up and refine me
Sanctify me, deeply purify me
But hold my hand
Hold my hand
Am I wood or am I gold
Am I a story never told
But hold my hand
Hold my hand
Am I paper, am I stone
Test my passions, try my bones
But hold my hand
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
Burn me up, burn me up
I lay me down
