[Verse 1]
Day by day, I watched you lay, I watched you decompose
The maggots in your carcass are like pearls around a necklace
And I can’t put a price on life at all
Well I’ve been counting seconds and the insects in your crevices
Until you tell me anything at all (A-Any—, all, all, all)
And I’ve been trying to find the words to help you make your peace with Earth
But now you’re reaping everything you sought, as I watched that body rot

[Chorus]
Lay my head to rest (So much left to say)
I cannot take control again (I’m right here)
Lay my head to rest (Someone’s in the way)
Our love will take its toll again (I’m right here)

[Verse 2]
As I lay here, rib cage torn apart
I envy your still lighter heart and the buzzing of the static in your skull
I wanna know how it felt when you left your shell
Did it hurt on the way out? Am I talking to myself?
'Cause I've been counting seconds and the insects in your crevices
Until you tell me anything at all, as I watched that body rot

[Chorus]
Lay my head to rest (So much left to say)
I cannot take control again (I’m right here)
Lay my head to rest (Someone’s in the way)
Our love will take its toll again (I’m right here)
[Outro]
So long, guess I’ll say goodbye
I’ll just lay here and I’ll watch you die
So long, there's a reason why
I can’t look at you while you’re still alive
