[Verse 1]
The safest road to hell is just a gentle slope
No signs or guides along the way
The safest form of evil is the heartless one
Its the sleight of hand that keeps your conscience safe
Someone here wants to force my hand

[Hook]
Oh, as I lay
I lay me down to sleep
Oh God I pray
I pray my soul to keep

[Verse 2]
The safest shade of comfort is the muted gray
It's the lukewarm water in between the hot and cold
He spits out in disgrace
Someone here wants to force my hand
Something here wants to force my hand

[Hook]
Oh, as I lay
I lay me down to sleep
Oh God I pray
I pray my soul to keep
[Bridge]
I read your letters
I read, I read
I read your letters
I read, I read

[Hook]
Oh, as I lay
I lay me down to sleep
Oh God I pray
I pray my soul to keep

Oh, as I lay
I lay me down to sleep
Oh God I pray
I pray my soul to keep
