A Midwestern State of Emergency lyrics

I am a dead man

I'm crawling into a trap

A horizontal response

I'm laying down for you once again

You've taken what's granted

I've said goodbye to my friends

I throw myself headfirst into this

Close the curtain and strand me

Found myself lost again

With even more excuses and even less concern

Bound and gagged but I enjoy it

You seduce your prisoner before you take your turn

So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees

In the tall grass where they won't find me

Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens

They come back screaming, taking me away

I've given all I can give

So don't let me go back between Woodward and Cass

Cracked concrete and broken glass

This run down block with my name in lights

Your saving grace, my final rites

Eleven miles from where I was

When I conceded my head, embraced my lost control

Innocence in a state so pure

You hear the demons calling to take back what you stole

So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees

In the tall grass where they won't find me

Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens

They come back screaming, taking me away

I lost a piece of myself and I forgot to slow down

And just breathe, and it's scaring me

I've given all I can give

So don't let me go

I am a dead man, I am a dead man

And it's the only way it can end

(I am a dead man, I am a dead man, I am a dead man, I am a dead...)

Man!

Don't know whose side I'm on

Anymore

And there's no starting over

So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees

In the tall grass where they won't find me

Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens

They come back screaming, taking me away

I lost a piece of myself and I forgot to slow down

And just breathe, and it's scaring me

I've given all I can give

So don't let me go
