Bury Me In Posies



I’ve wasted so many years of my life

Trying to understand what’s going on inside

It’s a mystery no detective can solve

It’s a disaster no superhero can resolve


Why spend another breath on chaos?

One moment I’m on track but then I am lost

Forgive me people; you bear the emotions of my curse

Oh, how could it- how could it get any worse?


I’ve fallen, I’ve fallen so far down

There are no second chances, there’ll be no next time around

Leave my body, I’m too weary to come with you

Just let me be and you’ll never hurt from all I do

Lay me slowly, gently into my waiting grave

Don’t try to wake me up, I’m far from being saved

Don’t trouble with a prayer, my soul will finally feel release

For those whose hearts I’ve broken, don’t bury me in posies


A cold darkness lingers on inside my head

Wriggling in shadow, a sleepless life in my bed

Supernatural beings ask that I come away

Never in peace, God and Devil, night and day


So much icy rain, a black cloud weighing low

Melting the false halos, following wherever I go

Through lips so silent yet a heart in violence

Was it ever- was it possible to guess the expense?


(Chorus x1)


A cool breeze, dry leaves

A tall, brooding creature staring down at me

No second to breathe, no moment to grieve

It is my time now, this is my time to leave

A blank wall, somebody calls

My imagination haunting as the darkness falls

No chance to stall, the reaper is tall

Close my eyes and be ready to let go of all

But if I hurt you, if I inflicted you with my disease

How could I ever deserve to be buried in posies?


(Chorus x2)


If you can smile now that I’m dead

Could you bury me in flowers of red?
