Lay To Waste

I'm looking for a chorus to capture the obscene
[The] way you’re torn in all directions by these currents underneath
Alone, your youthful spirit cries
As the beauty of the moment dies
But terrifyingly, it's you who's giving up on me

Open up your hungry heart, to fill with something clean
The numbing dose you favor
Is the crutch on which you lean
The glamour you idealize
The lies they tell between your thighs
You spiral down
You’re burning out
But you won't let me set you free
I say go on

There's a picture that hangs in my mind
As if our love didn't fade over time
When I could be strong and keep your world safe
But now I know it was only a

I have always loved you
I am not above you
Into these stars like worlds apart, I can show you a better way
But no one else can make you
You need yourself to save you
But you tear it down and throw me out 'til there's nothing left to say
