	Story Behind the Song Several occasions I have tried to help friends, family, people I care about, with either simple decisions, good advice or life paths... based on common sense, life experience and logic. I have developed a theory in these attempts that you can't give someone a brain - they will turn you down every time. In light of this, the only option is to wait, watch people fall, dive, and find a place to die. Depressing, yes, but hey... that's reality. The first and second verses encrypt imagery of bloody sidewalks, suicides, broken promises, and fatally self-inflicted prison on an individual level. The chorus tells you it doesn't matter what basket you stock your eggs in, you might as well give up anyway. Even more depressing. The third verse is about the same set of inflictions across the entire human race and the state of the world as a result. Also a bit encrypted... Lyrics Mud stained sidewalks Blood stained sky Spoken promises Broken bones to sanctify Waves come crashing Through prison walls Like dead rose petals I watch them fall One by one they fall The numbness slowly sets in Like the slumber of the dead So find a place A place to place your bets in Find a place to lay your head Lay your head Pictures fading To shades of white The music ends as slowly As wrong fades into right Day fades into night The numbness slowly sets in Like the slumber of the dead So find a place A place to place your bets in Find a place to lay your head Lay your head Lay your head Lay your head The numbness slowly sets in Like the slumber of the dead So find a place A place to place your bets in Find a place to lay your head The numbness slowly sets in Like the slumber of the dead So find a place A place to place your bets in Find a place to lay your head Lay your head Lay your head Lay your head Lay your head
