No, I'm not your friend
How can I be when you secretly
Take joy in my pain
I should've seen
Seen it coming when you said
Why can't you lay down and die
Why can't you lay down
Reaching through the contrails
Scratching at what's past the sky (past the sky)
I don't need your permission and I don't need your advice
I hear your words echo all the time (in my mind, in my mind)
Why can't you lay down and die
Cuz I'd rather fail than never try
I'd rather fail than never try
So you think you won
Come very soon you'll choke on that silver spoon
A snake in the grass, stuck in the past
Showed your colors when you said
Why can't you lay down and die
Why can't you lay down
Reaching through the contrails
Scratching at what's past the sky (past the sky)
I don't need your permission and I don't need your advice
I hear your words echo all the time (in my mind, in my mind)
Why can't you lay down and die
Cuz I'd rather fail than never try
I'd rather fail
Why can't you lay down and die
Why can't you lay down
Reaching through the contrails
Scratching at what's past the sky (past the sky)
I don't need your forgiveness no I don't need your advice
I hear your words echo all the time (in my mind, in my mind)
I hear your words echo in my mind (in my mind, in my mind)
Why can't you lay down and die
Why can't you lay down and die
Why can't you lay down and die
Cuz I'd rather fail than never try
Yeah, I'd rather fail than never try
Cuz I'd rather fail
