Letra da Música A Midwestern State Of Emergency de Silverstein

I am a dead man, I'm crawling into a trap
A horizontal response, I'm laying down for you once again
You've taking what's granted
I've said goodbye to my friends
I've thrown 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
11 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 this 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 and it's the only way it can end
I don't know who's side I'm on anymore and there's no starting over
