Lay Me Down (Zep Hurme Mix) [feat Admiral Bob]

from Amplifiers by ccMixter

/

about

Admiral Bob’s soul-wrenching lyrics describe the #MeToo experience of a child -- and are contrasted by Zep Hurme’s bright pop-rock mix that features crisp mandolin and energizing rhythm.

lyrics

Something is eating at my feet
Holding me back at every step
They tell me not to breathe a word
She gives me a vow that must be kept

You know that I’m only just a boy
Barely five years of age
The secret you load upon my shoulder
Is worthy of any grown man’s rage

Oh I wanna lay me down
Oh I wanna lay me down
Too weary to rest, too tired to sleep
Oh I wanna lay me down

Sometimes I wonder if the blanket
That I must kick off of my bare feet
Is a prison of artificial making
A courtyard for a veritable feast

Oh I wanna lay me down
Oh I wanna lay me down
Too weary to rest, too tired to sleep
Oh I wanna lay me down

You know that I’m only just a boy
And the innocence you took away from me
Is the only thing I brought into this world
And its only the truth that sets me free

Oh I wanna lay me down
Oh I wanna lay me down
Too tired to sleep, too weary to rest
Oh I wanna lay me down
