Grammar Question

I'm too lazy to figure this out myself, and I'm hoping someone here can help.

Let's say I am currently very sad and resting in my bed. Which would be the correct sentence:

- "I lie in bed very sad."

- "I lay in bed very sad."

I'm trying to create this in the present. It would be similar to saying "I drink coffee while I'm in bed."
