Lyrics:

A little under the weather
And completely overwhelmed
I wanna make myself feel better
I wanna lose these blues I’ve found
Like a hamster in a spinning wheel
My mind reels round and round
I wanna make myself feel better
Gonna lay my body down

I’m feeling like I hit a wall
That’s far too high to climb
I’m running out of patience
Running out of time
I’m overworked, I’m under-paid
I’m livin’ with deadlines
I‘m feelin’ stretched to the limits
Wanna leave it all behind

Gonna lay me down
Cause I can’t fall off the ground
Gonna rest my head
While this world is thrashin’ ‘round
I’m gonna lay my worries down to sleep
Cuz I got promises I can’t keep
And my waking life is way too steep
Gonna lay my body down

I can’t believe my life just took
That sharp turn for the worst
I’m wrestling with my restless mind
My days it seems are cursed
At the dead end of this crazy maze
I can feel my nerves unwind
I got a broken moral compass
Feelin’ much more cruel than kind

I will close my eyes
empty out my mind
I will go inside (lay me down)
lose all track of time (lay me down)
I will cut the ties (lay me down)
lose all track of time (lay me down)

Gonna lay me down
Cause I can’t fall off the ground
Gonna rest my head
While this world is thrashin’ ‘round
I’m gonna lay my worries down to sleep
Cuz I got promises I can’t keep
And my waking life is way too steep
Gonna lay my body down
