"LAID TO REST" Lam b of God

As heard on A shes of the Wake (E PIC)

Words and Mus ic by Chris Adler, David Blythe, John Campbell, Mark Morton and Will Adler • Transc ribed by Jeff Perrin

If there was a single day I could li ve. a single breath I cou ld take I'll chain you to the trut h. tor the truth shall set you free
I'd trade all the others away I'll turn the screws of vengence and bury you with honesty
I'll make all your dreams come to life and slay them as quickly as they came
The blood's on the wall so you might as well just admit it Smother anot her failure. lay th is to rest
And bleach out the stains, commit to forgetting it
You're better off empty and blank than left with a single pathetic trace of t his chorus
Smother another failure, lay this to rest
Say "who gives a fuck" (3x)
chorus:
Console yourself , you 're better alone Failure
Destroy yourself. say "who gives a fuck"
Adorn yourself. you 're better alone If t here was a day I cou ld li ve, if there was a single breath I cou ld take
Destroy yourself I'd trade all th e ot hers away. I'd trade all the others away
