Put Me Out Lyrics

Lyin' in the boneyard
A giant bird returned to rust
I will make myself small
I will hide it all
Cut me up in pieces
Take the shot to prove I'm gone
But I will stand ten feet tall
I will hide it all
Bending down to your desire
Sacrifice me, sell me out
Well I just wanted to fly higher
Yeah but if I burn, would you put me out, put me out, yeah

Dyin' in the boneyard
I was once the guardian
Now I'm the medicine ball
Now I'm free for all
I patrolled the borders
I kept the hungry wolves at bay
But now the target is your friend
Who do I defend?
Bending down to your desire
Sacrifice me, sell me out
Well I just wanted to fly higher
Yeah but if I burn, would you put me out, put me out
This road we're on is paved with your good intentions
And I'm hanging on the cross that you failed to mention

Bending down to your desire
Sacrifice me, sell me out
Well I just wanted to fly higher
Yeah but if I burn, would you put me out, put me out
