Lay Along by The Cardboard City Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don’t let me step over the edge, please
Pull me back by the hair
Leaving aside all the shrill false alarms
I am really all more or less there
Just don’t give me up to the Angels of Woe
Let me adore my despair
Only the best for the students of sorrow
Out for perusal
On tables of leavening
Quintessences scrambled in hurry and care

[Verse 2]
Keep a long leash on the break of release
Come to me quickly with oil
Papering over the task in fulfillment
I’ll try for a soft rolling boil
Just don’t give me up to the Soldiers of Pain
Let me stay close to the soil
Exposing a breast to the teachers of talent
Up for renewal
In capsules of quickening
Contrivances bundled in mouldering foil
[Chorus 1]
You are the quickness
The goneness and sound
Vaporous thickness
Run into the ground
Lay along
Lay along

[Verse 3]
Be truthful in all of my dreams, dear
Cinch this as tight as you must
Nothing is hotter than pitiless tears
Please release them to plumb the dead dust
Just don’t give me up to the Liars of Love
Let me be bitter and just
Shelving the rest with the priests of perdition
Down for construal
In whorls of polishing
Hypotheses stained by intransigent lust

[Chorus 2]
You are the fastness
The hereness and hard
Lingering pastness
A lone errant shard
Lay along
Lay along
[Chorus 3]
I am the harness
The whatness and keen
Facile and graceless
A querulous queen
Lay along
Lay along
Lay along
Lay along
