Bury

So take me to the river
The place where the water meets the mud
And dig a little deeper
Because you don’t want my body coming up
And make sure no one’s watching
But were my eyes, were they closed enough?

Go on and bury me
Go on and bury me alive
Go on and bury me
Go on and bury me alive
So here’s the shovel there’s the dirt

It’s clear just like the river
And now I can see how’d you pretend
You always seemed to shiver
If I proposed the means outweighs the end
But shake the second-guessing
You better finish, finish what you began

Go on and bury me
Go on and bury me alive
Go on and bury me
Go on and bury me alive
So here’s the shovel there’s the dirt

Now I know the body count is seemingly out of control
And I was not the only one that felt your toll
There are others underground and we commiserate
And wait
Now I know the body count is seemingly out of control
And if you place an ear upon the earth below
You’ll here a song of how you will reap just what you sow
You used to call me home
You felt it in your bones
You said you had a soul
I hope you die alone
