Lay Me Down (Heaven and Hell Demo) Lyrics

Lyrics from Snippet

[Verse 1: Calboy]
...And darlin', I was raised in that field, I’m a soldier
Gotta keep it solid, I'ma fight until it's over
I live from a place where you just gotta keep a toaster
I jumped off the porch and I been runnin’ like a motor, yeah, yeah
You might understand but you won't ever feel me (Never feel me)
Oh Lord, give me a chance to see the man I will be (Man I will be)
Only ridin' with this can 'cause demons tryna kill me
Maybe you can send a sign or somethin' so I can feel free
I done made some choices that was not the real me
Heard so many brokеn promises, like "Mhm, we'll see"
Vivid picturеs, runnin' through my thoughts, I still see
Granny say, "Go get some lovin' ’round your heart, it will freeze"
Even though you broke my heart, I still wish you well
Next stage must be Heaven ’cause I been through hell
Back against the wall, still, I prevail
I got war scars, darlin', can’t you tell? (Can't you tell?)

[Verse 2: Calboy]
They got me thinkin' 'bout my past like
I done been to hell and back, remember like it was last night
Sorry Lord, ain’t tryna hurt nobody, tryna get my bag right
Fightin' anxiety and depression, that was every night
Say she got me, yeah, right
Say he got me, yeah, right
'Member they called me crazy 'cause I pray up to the damn sky
I just met this dude, have a tribulation with my head high
I talk to God like everyday, I hope the dead fly
'Cause where I'm from, you never make it out
Without a smile, I'd lose but I'm not breakin' down
Still got that wild in me but I'd fixate for Ralph's
Oh, she can vibe with me? Then I might stay a while
Look how far I've come, think I should take a bow
My heart was honin' you, now is you should make it out
I was the world for you, you let 'em lay 'em down
I was for you for you, you let 'em take me out
[Outro: Calboy]
Take me out, take me out, take me out
Take me out
