Verse 1:

Undone—,

I've been a little lost, a little mis-guided.

I walked on.

Ignored the sneers, the glares;

I kept silent.

Mis-takes,

I'm sure, were all guilty of plen-ty

Erase this dirt;

Gently cleanse our memories.

Speak truth,

We can all find inn—ocence—;

Beneath a thin layer of silk.

You better un-tie;

Those knots have you ta—ngled—

Lay down,

And let the satin sheets soothe.

(Instrumentals Build)

Be still—,

Just breath for a moment.

Rest well—;

Find answers in your dreams.

Time heals;

Scars are there to remind us of battle.

Be strong;

I know you are stronger than me.

Rough ti-mes

Been driving us cra-z—y—,

A lost mind can defeat the demon inside.

Hold on;

To the few that will gui-de you—,

Lay down;

Let the satin sheets soothe.

Chorus:

It’s been a long day

And I know that we're both restless;

Set those thoughts aw—ay—

As life continues on to test us.

Somewhere far aw—ay—

We'll find the answers;

But for now

Lay down

Somewhere safe and sound;

Just breathe.

Verse 2:

Soft skin,

Car-ess me gently—

Slow down,

The body is an art.

Those hands can touch till it t—ingles—,

Life's short,

But we've made it this far.

We've grieved;

I know that you felt me—

(and) I try to fight the demons inside.

I let go;

(and) free-fell into noth-ing—,

Inhaled;

And the satin silk soothed.

Oh, I smile,

Each day to a stranger—,

Close my eyes and sing in the sun.

Listen to

The words the wind whis—pers—,

I know our souls are forever one.

Scream loud!;

At the top of a mountain—,

I’m home,

Where the snow touches the sky.

I have faith

You are the north star

That lights my path,

Smiling down;

When I dance

Barefoot in the sa—nd.

Chorus:

It’s been a long day

And I know that we're both restless;

Set those thoughts aw—ay—

As life continues on to test us.

Somewhere far aw—ay—

We'll find the answers;

But for now

Lay down

Somewhere safe and sound;

Just breathe.

(Piano Interlude)

Verse 3:

(Whisper)

Soft skin,

I'll caress you ge-ntl—y,

Cloaked in crimson and cream

I know your body is an art.

These hands;

Swam bare in crystalline wa—ter—s,

Rest your head on my chest;

Feel my heart.

Breath deep;

I'll always quiver ben-eath you

Release the painful demons inside.

Take my hand;

We'll plummet in com—fort—,

Dream now;

The satin sheets will soo—the.
