It takes the pain away
That could not make you stay
It's way to broke to fix
No glue, no bag of tricks

Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl.

Your smile would make me sneeze
When we were Siamese
Amazing grace in here
I'd pay to have you near.

Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl.

Don't go and lose your face
At some stranger's place
And don't forget to breathe
And pay before you leave

Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl.
Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl.

    Song Meaning

    I think this is about someones life being destroyed by drugs and also about someone who was in a relationship with him/her.

    It takes the pain away that could not make you stay it's way to broke to fix no glue, no bag of tricks

    The other person has left, because his person is too dependent on drugs.<

    Don't go and lose your face at some stranger's place and don't forget to breathe and pay before you leave

    This sounds like it could be a farewell from the girlfriend/boyfriend to the drug addict. Maybe The first two lines, they are pleading not to do it, but then in the next two lines, they accept they will go do it no mater what.<

    Lay me down, the lie will unfurl lay me down to crawl.

    I think this is about becoming dependent on drugs, the line unfurls and you become useless.
