Lay me down to rest but I ask to lay me gently
I've been beat and bruised and left with no explanation.

There's nothing more that I can say or do, so please,lay me down to rest.

I'm getting so tired of this nonsense.

I rather close my eyes and sleep.

I'm tired.

So I say again,lay me down to rest but please be gentle. There's so much I can take before I break. I'm already built with cracks and flaws.

I'm afraid one more wrong movement and I'll simply be no more.

I sometimes wonder if I do,will I finally be put to rest.

I'm tired.
