A place in your eyes
Ingrained in your blood of
What was handed down
Embrace who you love
Remember that everything is alright

I've passed the worst of me onto you
And what's killing me will be moving on to you

Let me live before you lay me down
Don't take it away from me, yet
Please

Don't think that's its punishment
Don't think that it's heaven-sent
But I have passed the worst of me onto you
Let me live before you lay me down

Let me live before you lay me down
Don't take it away from me, yet
Please
Filter the plague as you pass it down
We don't deserve this quite yet
Please, it's all relative

Let me live before you lay me down
Don't take it away from me, yet
Please
Filter the plague as you pass it down
We don't deserve this quite yet
Please, it's all relative
